Carey Mulligan in Emerald Fennell's "Promising Young Woman"

This week, Gavia and Morgan take a critical look at Oscar darling Promising Young Woman, the debut film from Emerald Fennell that stars Carey Mulligan and Bo Burnham. Topics include the film's dubious approach to rape revenge narratives, its generally lackluster screenplay, its hollow aesthetic, and more. (TW for discussions of rape and sexual violence)
