OK I have THOUGhTS about Promising Young Woman (a thread, contains spoilers) 
I was absolutely riveted in every moment. This film is an enormously important contribution to the #femmerevenge genre, which you know I love https://lithub.com/the-bloody-catharsis-of-femme-revenge/
The major elements are all there, the living at home with mom & dad outside of a normal heterosexual path of marriage kids. One part reviewers have mostly skipped over is when Cassie says “I could have all those things in a heartbeat but I don’t want them”
The thing is, I believer her that she doesn’t want those things, and ultimately the movie bears that out. So I wonder about the middle part of the film where she’s in love/having a great time with Ryan. People say the ending is off but I think it’s this middle part
There is emotional payoff when it’s revealed that Ryan was there, but I think we kinda knew he was shitty from the beginning, when he says he’s still friends with Al Monroe
I felt utterly bereft when Cassie leaves us as a narrator and utterly shocked that she lost control of the situation. That moment is a really interesting choice and left me so sad but I do think it was the right one
In the end Cassie sacrificed herself, her own life, her pleasure, her family, her health, her dreams, her future to right this wrong and that is what is most haunting to me—the ways these crimes take up so much space and then take over
What does she say about her friend Nina to Al? That he “squeezed her out” I believe. A movie I’ll never forget
