Waitress by day, vigilante by night, Carey Mulligan amazes in “Promising Young Woman”.
His performance as a 30-something at war with sex abusers earned him an Oscar citation.
She is impressive in this film which shakes permanently.
Carey Mulligan doesn't let herself be stepped on.
Neither on the screen, nor in the city.
In the cinema, in
Promising Young Woman
by Emerald Fennell, she plays a thirty-something determined to pass the taste for sexual abuse to her unscrupulous suitors.
In life, she got very angry with the newspaper
Variety
which did not consider her pretty enough to play the seductress.
“The message of the film is clearly feminist, explains the actress to
The Guardian
and we are still talking about my physique?
This thriller goes inside indeed does not go by four ways to denounce sexual abuse and sexist abuses.
The heroine draws men into her net to give her the fear of their lives when they feel that consent is optional.
A women's affair
No offense to the unfortunate, Carey Mulligan is so credible in her role as a vigilante that she has been cited for the Oscar.
Led by Emerald Fennell (known as the show runner of
season 2
Killing Eve
and its composition of Camilla Parker Bowles in
The Crown
), the thirty-something is as credible as a self-effacing waitress as she is a relentless avenger.
This film produced by Margot Robbie cheerfully joins the # MeToo movement to make people think through a nervous suspense.
A scary heroine
“Entertaining is a good way to get the message across even though I admit that my character and her actions started scaring me when I read the script,” she admits.
The spectator understands this first reaction well because he feels the same in front of this righter of wrongs with a past too heavy for her.
Like the performance of Carey Mulligan,
Promising Young Woman
keeps its promises and shakes permanently.
