ANGELIKA’S NOTE
SYNOPSIS

"Promising Young Woman is like nothing I've ever seen. It's jaunty, downright good-humored, even as it's wrecking you."

Baltimore Magazine

"Perfectly directed, perfectly cast, perfectly written and with a soundtrack to die for, Promising Young Woman is already film of the year."

ABC Radio (Australia)

"Mulligan turns in a performance that's near phenomenal as Cassie. You can read into the corner of her mouth her refusal to let her guard down, a cynicism seeping into her every expression."
