Review of Promising Young Woman (2020) by Mattaluck — 31 Jan 2021

Before #metoo, its will always hard to defend yourself as a young woman, maybe one day one night, you were drunk, and somebody did something sexual to you, and do you think there is somebody will believe you, and that somebody was just a fifty, rich, white boy? But you were also young girl living in a suburb family, could this possible lead to justify what he did could that trauma lead to you to the end?

Cassie, undergoing grieve for 7 years of her BFF, because she was not go with her to the party that day, blaming herself forever that her friend suicide over the raping in the party, and no justice happened for the white boy, yet everybody knew, but no one tells, no one believe her but that boy, and no matter what, boys will always protect each other, also the women.

Carey Mulligan is FANTASTIC, she process the emptiness, the grieve, happily in love, madness and determination for revenge. Emerald Fennell wrote such script, have such meaning of the society for their preference or truth, the rich will always protect each other. Everyone has it shinning moment but MULLIGAN is EVERYTHING.

The story is so impactful, tasteful, surely a lot of men will not believe anything what a person could go through, no one said all the men are evil, this story is hard to get over, it will stay in your head for a while because of it, the story reflex of real life, not just harassing, even today some critic trying to gang up for Mulligan, because Mulligan criticized one critic that she is not Hot enough or not Maggot Robbie who has been doing similar characters, blindly protecting or defending each other no matter it's wrong or not. a lot of today's situation is similar to this particular pastern, its stall in it system of this society, will people ever think about it, is it right or wrong?

Even with #metoo, its doesn't change anyone how they believe in, will people know about it will tell it? Will they only believe it only a lot of people who experienced it and telling it? there surely a lot of issues around it society, but Promising Young Woman perfectly tell a story, and give its story perfect ending.
