Promising Young Woman was a perfectly written script. It was amazing.

This movie is 100% worth the watch, it’s disturbingly comedic and it definitely delves into some pretty serious topics. ie...sexual assault, revenge, murder, trust, relationships, etc. Also, the soundtrack is pretty ‘killer’ as well 🔪💔🔪💔🔪💔

I sense an Oscar nomination, and probably a win, for her, for this.

we hope ur so right🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@democlips1]

Yeah, unfortunately I guess this film was just too dark for Hollywood

[@esthekatie]

Promising young woman was the best movie I’ve seen in a long time. I was laughing and cheering in the beginning and then sobbing by the end. Strangely triggering but cathartic at the same time. Great interview Trevor!!!

[@osmosisjones4912]

Really life is opposite .

[@freckledginger]

my brother and i rented this movie over the weekend and we spent a good 80% of it going “WHAT?! WHAAAATTT???" bc even after watching the trailers and thinking we kind of knew where the plot was gonna go, the movie kept surprising us. all of the casting choices were really effective, especially with, like carey said, choosing really likable, familiar actors for those roles. the only thing i told my friends was that the movie was WILD and to watch the trailers bc i was too worried i’d spoil the movie, but i highly recommend it-just maybe watch like some cartoons or a cooking show afterwards.

[@racheljenkins8340]

Yeah, I thought I knew about the plot & where it was going when I went to watch this. I did not expect what happened at all. I love the movie though, like one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.

I love how good his questions actually are. Compared to talk show hosts like the both Jimmys or Conan, James Corden even, Trevor manages to keep his show at a consistent quality and does not drift off the important stuff

[@Jazzisa311]

He's also one of the few hosts of whom I actually believe he watched the movie/ read the book he was supposed to. I think a lot just pretend to have read it and only read the cover or the summary or something and then end up asking generic questions because of that.

[@sillybugMaryam]

This interview has successfully made me want to watch this movie. It was quite charming on both ends.

Get ready. It's sooo good and very entertaining

[@pollywolly7988]

New Zealander here, we are lucky our cinemas are open and I saw this in company. Can't recommend it enough. It got an R18 cert which I thought was too high, R18's are rare here, but it does dead with disturbing material. Beautifully shot and perfectly paced, there are few movies that the end takes me by surprise. I'd say they use humour extremely well, but would not call it a comedy.

I would've loved to see this in theaters with a audience. But happy I got to see it

I didnt hear the title of the movie and thought “promising young woman“ was a description of her...

[@MissSeaShell]

I saw this video this morning before work and immediately rented the movie as soon as I was home. Just finished watching it and wow. Thanks for doing this interview Trevor! I'm so glad I watched the movie and it's going to stay with me for a long while. Watching it again with the husband later tonight! Carey's performance was out of this world! Very important movie I hope everyone who watches it takes the time to understand its meaning.

[@sevgiyakn5759]

[@carolinanoriega3813]

I just watched 6 of Trevor's interviews and I think he needs an award for best interviewer. Thanks to him I will be watching 3 films including this one!

I already have a stack of movies yet to watch, haven't finished King's Gambit, but Carey Mulligan is near and dear to my heart so this latest movie is going on my list. What a consummate professional to talk about a difficult topic when she's already jet-lagged from home.

You know an actor is a chameleon when you’ve never heard their real accent. I’ve seen Carey in easily 6-8 films and she’s always played an American. Pretty crazy.

@@andreaslinden3262 oof, that's rough.

[@Jill-ih9dq]

Very important movie. It was very hard for me to watch, since I came expecting a much more idealistic ending than we got, and I got VERY badly triggered by the climax scene. I had a panic attack that lasted for hours afterward. I still get nauseous and anxious thinking about it, but I hope more people will see it and have their eyes opened a bit. It’s important to sit with these feelings and confront them, no matter how painful. I had the exact same reaction to Blackkklansman.

[@LettyMaria1]

I will looked up this film too. I watched a film with Carey called the Dig. It is slow but I cried at the end

[@rlegear19]

The Dig is an awesome movie. I have watched it 7 times . Beautiful cinematography , screenplay and flawless performances from a great cast make this film as comfortable as a warm blanket . I believe that Carey will win the Oscar for PYW partly because the voters will have seen The Dig and can see her star in 2 great films in 1 month.
