Bo Burnham is effective as a retiring young doctor faced with Carey Mulligan's implacable desire for revenge after suffering a traumatic experience in her younger days. She seems to go after just about everybody in the cast, including the…

A humorous Dark, very dark comedy that made a creepy subject watchable. Of course 'not all men' are rapists but it is important to realize that our society seems to reward men, not punish them, for their predatory behavior toward women.

Wow. Watch this with DVD "Women Talking" and wonder if the United States is much better than Afghanistan. We have so far to go, wonder if we'll ever make it.

Stumbled upon this DVD and both of us give it 5 stars. Well filmed and very well acted, darkly funny at times. This movie is a great launching point for discussions on how society accepts violence toward women. I would recommend that…

Just when you think you have figured out the plot, it enters a new phase and then when you think you have figured out the new plot....I didn't count the number changes where I thought I had it figured it out. Male chauvanists will rank it…

I'll give this like a "soft 3", in the sense that I am close to wanting to give it a 2 1/2. But anyway, I watched this to see Bo Burnham in action (I like his comedy), and Carey Mulligan is a talented actress undoubtedly. If I was into the…

Disturbing but engrossing story about revenge. Carey Mulligan’s performance is jaw-dropping, a woman who adopts many looks and personalities to seduce, then threaten men who she determines are dangerous to women.

Love this movie. Hard to watch, but I think every woman either has or knows someone who has been in these kinds of situations. Incredibly important film, don't miss it.

Awesome revenge movie by the Director and Writer of "Killing Eve" series. FABULOUS!

It's worth seeing that catharsis looks different from different people's perspective; revenge maybe not so much. Cassie, Ryan & Gail's interactions were believable, dynamic and interesting, but the wardrobe choices & stylized parental home…

Boring, preachy, smug. That's a better title. Pretends to be an horror/thriller, but it's just weird. Lots of sitting, lots of talking, all dull. Shallow but thinks it is deep. The ending is preposterous, and pure fantasy. The film…

I could see it happening a lot like this. Problem drinkers, (even men) have been doped and taken elsewhere. Rape would be a logical conclusion, even just robbery. I know men that's happened to. But then, they take a decent concept and ruin…

This movie is repetitive, immature drivel which barely scratches the surface of its own subject matter.

Pretty poor effort- lame script full of half-baked ideas and dialogue. I'm not sure why I've been seeing such good reviews- I guess there is no accounting for taste.

While the initial idea and the plot are interesting, the execution is full of flaws. Dialogues make no sense as well as situation. The acting is soooo bad it becomes hard not to laugh. Don't understand the high rating.

Carey Mulligan is amazing. Again. I didn't recognize her in the role. There were a couple of miscues in the direction, I thought, with certain characters but, overall, the plot reveals itself with a good pace and motivates well the…

An excellent but tough movie to watch and a remarkable performance by lead actress Carey Mulligan, the rest of the cast is also great.

Loved it.

Incredible. Films have finally evolved over the past century of film-making to become bold, intelligent, deep, honest, clever, witty, uncompromising, unapologetic, visually and sonically captivating, as Promising Young Woman is. Women's…

Oh wow...deeply disturbing yet hilarious. I felt really guilty for laughing. It's like what one of the actors said in the Bonus Features: It's a disturbing topic that a lot would turn away from were it not for the humor. Mulligan was…

Carey Mulligan is incredible in this film. The storyline has a good flow which carries it through to a surprising ending. Not sure if it's a statement piece as the writer/director suggests in her interviews?

Carey Mulligan carries this movie from start to finish, and does a spectacular job. There's an aspect of film acting that goes beyond the script -- I call it "writing the story on your face." She does that. This story touches on a whole…

The story shows how the career path and the life of a young woman is damaged and/or destroyed made worse by a society more concerned about the rights of the perpetrators. What is striking is that all people say about her is that she is…

Dark but funny, devastating but yet...satisfying. The dialogue and Mulligan are superb and smart, and the movie reveals how attitudes towards consent have changed (or not), and how destructive an act of rape can be on the victims and those…
