unlabelledView post →I heard good things so im watching "Promising Young Woman" and I absolutely love the intro scene. It starts with Camera angles/slow motion pans over men dancing in a club the exact way movies usually show women. That sexual film language used on men wearing button ups and khakis is *chefs kiss*
unlabelledView post →OK, the title is hilarious, but this is seriously a brilliant takedown of Fennell's film that doubles as a passionate appreciation of Emily Brontë. My review gave this movie an "eh, not for me" shrug bc at least it was not as actively evil as Promising Young Woman. But it really is stupid as hell.

unlabelledView post →The awful Cornell assault story reminds me of the movie "Promising Young Woman". A drunk young woman was raped by a classmate, as his college buddies watched and recorded the assault. It was a really dark movie & reminds me that the ugliness in fiction often stems from reality.
unlabelledView post →I think a lot about the detail that at the time Hinckley shot Reagan Taxi Driver was five years old, the least cool age for a movie reference. It'd be like if someone did a Promising Young Woman-themed crime.

unlabelledView post →Late but watched Promising Young Woman last night and I think it’s my favorite movie now.
unlabelledView post →I think this is in relation to the horrific news out of Cornell but is why I think ‘Promising Young Woman’ is such a great and polemical film because it skewers the culture of ‘bystanderism’
unlabelledView post →People hated the film Promising Young Woman, I thought it was breathtaking but so many reviews were centred on the sacrificial ending and how they felt it undermined the core message. But to me, the core message was always that men's reputations are in an axiological contest with women's lives.
unlabelledView post →Can’t believe that when I posted my vigorous agreement with this earlier I forgot to once again share @ayeshaasiddiqi.bsky.social’s review of PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN, a meticulous, measured, yet utterly excoriating work of criticism. Read it and confirm/correct your opinions.
unlabelledView post →Pete Hegseth is a creep! He says he’ll “bring the warrior culture back to the DOD,” he really means is “the good old boy culture.” Watch the 2020 movie Promising Young Woman. His mom was right—he’s “an abuser of women,”and his vision would roll back decades of progress for women in the military.”

unlabelledView post →Last Sun. movie - Wuthering Heights - dir. by Emerald Fennel, w/Margot Robbie & Jacob Elordi. I love EF. Promising Young Woman & Saltburn. She has her own vision which often is a Love It or Hate It - no in between. The movie is moving, emotional, gorgeous, new take on the book. We both loved it.❤️
unlabelledView post →In my first post for the third round of Movie Club, I respond to @markharris.bsky.social about Emerald Fennell's Saltburn, a movie I loathed far less than expected based on my distaste for the filmmaker's debut film Promising Young Woman. What does it mean to hate a movie? slate.com/culture/2023...
unlabelledView post →I don't care about the director & haven't seen her other movies but I've been seeing some criticism of Promising Young Woman, much of the same criticism when it came out, so I'm going to defend it again because it was a frustrating, depressing but useful movie.
unlabelledView post →Worst movie of the last ten years? It's a toss-up between Promising Young Woman and JoJo Rabbit. Two movies that suggest "Director Jail" should be a real, concrete place.
unlabelledView post →I dislike the term “rape culture” but it is a real thing. Pay attention to the absurdly lenient sentences given to men found guilty of sexual assault, even against children. The movie, “Promising Young Woman” was an expose of our society’s shared complicity in excusing rape and sexual assault.
unlabelledView post →Not long ago, I saw Promising Young Woman. When I was explaining the movie to a couple of guys, they remarked that it was unrealistic because a case of rape on a college campus would be brought to the police and handled, not just simply handled by the dean of the college. OMG
unlabelledView post →This video was so good! I really hope more people reexamine Promising Young Woman because there are so many other reasons why that movie was problematic aside from the ending. But the ending is still extremely terrible www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhFj...

unlabelledView post →I just watched this and it’s a great revenge movie based on a gang rape by students at a medical school who got away with it until they didn’t. Promising Young Woman share.google/cbUayQm3NiLx...
unlabelledView post →The craziest, most unhinged film discourse online deemed Promising Young Woman a pro-police film (what?!?!!) & said it hates women/is TOO harsh toward the female dean (an awful male critic said this to me). It's legit to dislike a film but you all sounded STUPID with these points. #Cornell

unlabelledView post →I’ll never be over Promising Young Woman. What an incredible and infuriating movie. Watch it if you haven’t.
unlabelledView post →I just recorded a podcast episode about Promising Young Woman and it’s really telling that that movie was anointed as the apotheosis of #MeToo, because boy does it ever embody the complete vacuity of liberal feminism
unlabelledView post →Promising Young Woman I think it's a powerful movie that more people should see, but if you tell me you love it I'm going to give you a weird look.

unlabelledView post →If Promising Young Woman had been a movie about a woman who takes revenge on rapists by castrating or murdering them, there would have been dozens of articles, thousands of posts, about how it was unrealistic, misandrist pandering that's inciting hate & promoting a "gender war."
unlabelledView post →I thought I would never hate a movie as much as I hated Promising Young Woman, and then I saw Saltburn.
unlabelledView post →I agree that Saltburn is just dumb fun, even if I personally found it more the former than the latter. But Promising Young Woman to me is a profoundly nihilistic take on the rape revenge movie that essentially treats its heroine's life like The Giving Tree.

unlabelledView post →i watched Promising Young Woman (2020) last night and i simply cannot stop thinking about it. a terrific film all prefaced on the concept of "what if a woman responded proportionately to sexual assault" SPOILER: people dont like it
unlabelledView post →It's also the gimme prize for the films that everyone loved but the Academy won't award - like Pulp Fiction, Get Out, Promising Young Woman, Lost in Translation. But I just thought it was funny. Not a real prediction. Just the film everyone loves often gets trumped by something safe.
unlabelledView post →On @pivotpod.bsky.social, Kara talked about the 2024 Cornell rape case, mentioning she was thinking a lot about the 2020 movie “Promising Young Woman.” Scott chimed in. I didn't know it and watched it last night. Wow! Disturbing, insightful, and thought provoking. (Here: youtu.be/t3Attm52b20?...)
unlabelledView post →because this is so ubiquitous, and there's not much more rational way to respond, I really appreciate how this was handled artistically in the movie 'A Promising Young Woman'. I cost 2 young women their lives, but there's a lot to appreciate in the story. www.netflix.com/ca/title/810...
