Review of Promising Young Woman

I came back to re-read my review for this awful film - and find that it is gone! Well, I'll say it again: this film is total garbage. Emerald did a stunning job on her previous, short film "Careful How You Go" - a dark comedy I wish I could watch again, it is that good. But this trash? I was excited to see it premiere at Sundance. But as it played out, you knew something was off - namely everything. It was as if someone else made it. Cringy, boring, and weak, trite humor and performances. As I stated in my original review, I had to wonder if studio suits took over and botched this into something other than Emerald's vision. But if this truly was Fennell's cut...what an abject travesty. Go seek out "Careful How You Go" - MUCH better!
