"Promising Young Woman": An elegant, gut-punch of a film

[@ethancooney3331]

Mulligan was absolutely brilliant in the movie. It's also the kind of performance that the world goes crazy for when a man does it, for example, Joaquin Phoenix in Joker. Mulligan deserves all the praise she gets, and more.

[@mellowyellow403]

I really hope she wins the Oscar. Her performance was literally breathtaking.

[@a697ag]

I did not expect the film to go in that direction. It tore me apart

[@mellowyellow403]

[@gershwingreen4043]

She won’t win

[@tori2dles]

It was. And I’d love to see her win it. But I think Andra Day will get it. Her portrayal of Billie Holiday was outstanding. Sometimes I wish there could be a tie. Anyhow, I’m guessing since Viola Davis and Frances McDormand are somewhat recent winners (& McD has 2 Oscars), maybe they Academy will give a newcomer a chance.

Carey Mulligan is such a brilliant and luminous actress, acting in her films over the years! ❤️

[@MsLeonor1968]

Absolutely love that such a real and thought provoking film has been put out there for all to see. Too many people end up in these horrid situations and it needs to stop.

[@jsmithsemper4848]

I’m for putting real decoys in & giving them immunity until it does stop, just like this movie. It’s just dangerous.

[@Candy199]

I love her acting! She is one of the most courageous actors nowadays! 🥰🥰

[@tmackie1694]

Love Ms. Mulligan. Her superb performance in “An Education” still blows my mind.

[@Ernie1978]

11 "nice guys" disliked it. Come on, Oscar voters. Do the right thing and give the Oscar to Carey Mulligan. She really, really deserves it!

[@andidreyes5323]

That movie was so amazing. Her performance was transformative. I wish there were words ENOUGH to express how much I loved this movie and each actors/actresses truly multidimensional facets to their characters. I didn't feel like I was watching a movie...I felt like I was watching someone I know. I didn't feel like they were "acting". That's a big deal with me. It's what makes a movie great versus good.

[@barbaraolson600]

Lovely lady! Talented and classy Mulligan it has convinced me to go and see her film if it were in the theater but all see it on the computer I guess. Just love her non-judgemental attitude towards humanity. Love, light, joy and blessings to everyone.

[@angelacarleton9575]

I applaud her for not letting others put her down and standing up for herself that she believes in herself. Good for you C. Mulligan.

[@simonecromer6840]

I'm projecting Carey to win the Oscar for Promising Young Woman. It was the bravest, jarring, and most daring performance of the year.

[@tori2dles]

Have you seen Andra Day in The US vs. Billie Holiday? I think she’ll get it. I wish the Oscars could have a tie because Carey was outstanding and so thought provoking. But Andra Day was also outstanding and Billie’s life and brave decision to keep singing _Strange Fruit_ even though she was being persecuted for it was also thought-provoking. Just the song itself and the imagery of it does me in. Anyhow, Carey in PYW was absolutely phenomenal.

[@gershwingreen4043]

@@tori2dles Andra Day is on a whole other level of performance to Carey Mulligan in United States vs Billie Holliday, it’s literally something else. The only one other actress that can rival Day is Viola Davis.

[@christinapereira8380]

She is such a real person.

[@AlleyandGrey]

The best movie I've seen in awhile. It pulled you in all the way to the end. Not since Fatal Attraction has there been such an "uncomfortable" movie. I think most of the "uncomfortable" viewers are men. This performance was her best.

[@v.a.993]

I love the premise of Promising Young Woman.

[@krisrhood2127]

Sounds like Thelma and Louise

[@MsDreamscaper]

She was amazing in this role. Watching this movie and observing how people who think of themselves as "nice" or "good" might take advantage of others in certain circumstances is part of what makes this a great movie. Uncomfortable but real.

[@stephaniehansen5162]

Well worth the praise.... she’s breathtaking 😊

[@megandunklin6147]

I've been a fan of hers since An Education. Absolutely was so happy too see her and Alfred Molina reunite in Promising Young Woman.

Frances McDormand move over. Carey is on her way to win Best Actress Oscar...and definitely much deserved. She blew me away as did the film What a surprise...and a wild roller-coaster of a ride. Two thumbs up...

[@frankwc0o]

They forgot her most iconic role in TV, Sally in Doctor Who.

[@2006glg]

Fantastic movie. I rented it and watched it on a whim this past weekend and I hadn't heard all the buzz because I dont watch TV or pay attn to social media, but whoa, I hope she wins every award.

[@chriswelsh8826]

Amazing actress! Always a memorable performance Ty Carrie from beautiful nc mountains

[@Kahayuman]

this will go down as one of the best performances in years that have not won an oscar.

[@kmac8055]

Wow. I never thought about it from that perspective. No one calls John Wick crazy. And he killed a fleet of people over his dog. Like what?

[@fromthehaven94]

The most violent thing we see Cassie do is her cracking the windshield of a random vehicle.

[@mercygrrl]

I was around when Thelma & Louise was released. Back then there was no shortage of men expressing alarm about "all the violence against men" in that Oscar nominated film. Taking stock, T&L shot air holes in the rear of a patrol car before making the the officer climb in the trunk -- so he could breathe. They blew up a tank truck in the desert (but not the obnoxious driver). They only killed one guy - the rapist. Yet plenty of guys Rashōmon'd what they saw on the screen.

She should've won the Oscar for this performance. But there are too many Hollywood Execs that saw themselves in the men in this film and so they couldn't possibly bestow that honor on a movie of this subject matter.

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

@@mariannesouza8326 it is the most unpredictable category this year as every award is won by a different actress but Viola Davis won the SAG Award (a safe predictor) while Frances McDormand is an Oscar perennial, although the one that really deserves to win is Vanessa Kirby for her heart rending work in Pieces of a Woman

[@hilove5658]

Would have been nice for the character in movie to have met someone without ulterior motive, with only a want to help another soul and spirit heal. That is Oscar worthy movie. We can speak whatever we want. Action is louder then words. Lead by example. And frankly, their is to much assualts. EMOTIONALLY or physically and both in the world today.
