I’m getting a queasy feeling from this trailer for Emerald Fennell‘s Promising Young Woman (Focus Features, 4.17.20), which will debut at Sundance ’20. Some kind of dry, deadpan satire about…what? A woman (Carey Mulligan) who brings pain into the lives of average schlubs who take an interest in her…something like that? Humiliation? She’s marking off what in the little book? All the guys look and talk like jerks, but why the disproportionate decision to make them all pay for what happened to her in med school? There’s definitely something “off” about this film…something not right.
