Promising Young Woman Ratings & Reviews
BuzzFeed News
Alessa Dominguez
The film's take on power and trauma is deeper than the usual pop feminism.
Observer
Siddhant Adlakha
Whenever Promising Young Woman approaches challenging material, it treats it like a hot stove and snaps its hand back as if on instinct.
The Jewish Chronicle
Linda Marric
Fennell cleverly mixes romantic comedy tropes with more serious issues to give us one of the most complex #MeToo narratives we've seen so far.
Slate
Dana Stevens
It's as if the movie wants to provide the audience with the satisfaction of a successful revenge plot while robbing its main character of everything the quest for vengeance was meant to give her in the first place...
ABC News
Peter Travers
In filmmaker Emerald Fennell's diabolically funny takedown of toxic masculinity, Carey Mulligan gives a dynamite performance that should make her a frontrunner in the Oscar race for Best Actress.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
This is lip-gloss misanthropy packaged as feminist manifesto, clever but not smart, cynical without being perceptive or particularly passionate. Women are angry for good reason. They also deserve better movies than this one.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
A smart, provocative, pitch-black dark comedy and revenge movie with an astonishingly powerful, deeply layered performance by Carey Mulligan as Cassie...
Elle
Candice Frederick
Promising Young Woman is more profoundly a devastating reflection of a woman consumed with grief.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Chris Hewitt
Whatever its flaws, "Promising Young Woman" really goes for it, and that makes it thrilling to watch.
USA Today
Brian Truitt
Even when you think "Promising Young Woman" is over, Fennell isn't done putting its characters - or her audience - through their paces.
Vox
Alex Abad-Santos
Around 10 minutes into Emerald Fennell's blistering Promising Young Woman, I realized that it would be one of my favorite movies.
Associated Press
Jocelyn Noveck
Startling - the only way to describe Fennell's vision and execution in this, her directorial debut. And, sensational - a word that only begins to capture Carey Mulligan's lead performance.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Amy Nicholson
I just adored this film. I think it's incredibly smart.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Fennell is a fearsome sensibility and a talent to watch out for, and the arguments you may have after the lights come up will be well worth having.
Rolling Stone
K. Austin Collins
The movie is sturdy and stylish, full of ideas and fun to watch, strange as it may seem to say. If it doesn't always maintain the sharp effectiveness of its opening, it's proof of a writer-director willing and able to stay ahead of the curve.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
A darkly comic #MeToo revenge tale, the film is elevated by Carey Mulligan's mesmerizing performance, but winds up feeling undercooked in developing the narrative surrounding what's basically a feminist vigilante.
The New Republic
Lidija Haas
Promising Young Woman isn't demonizing anyone, and it's not about how the real baddies are hard to spot. It's about more widespread hypocrisies, about what behavior is collectively encouraged...
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
A muddled mélange of black comedy, revenge thriller and feminist lecture, "Promising Young Woman" too often backs away from its potentially searing setup.
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
Thisis a female revenge thriller bathed in jet-black comedy, and Emerald Fennel's screenplay is utterly compelling. It can easily mess with your head, as it did with mine, and its climax is one of the most difficult scenes I've ever sat through
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Emerald Fennell's Promising Young Woman is the year's most explosively shocking and forcefully controversial debut. It is also one of its best films.
