If Promising Young Woman was a horror movie. Just an amazing film. When Mollie decapitated Steve’s wife with a shovel screaming about how “BITCHES LIKE YOU ARE THE FUCKING PROBLEM” I felt it deep in my soul. Honestly only critique I can think of is that I wish it was longer, maybe talked more about who Sami was, the situation with Steve’s wife and how that amputation came about, it’s obvious he did it but was she ever in the other women’s position? Also what happened to the wife’s assistant (butler???). Really was rooting for Mollie’s ex to at least see them escaping but what happened does fit more with the narrative, the women save themselves and the man has the option to assist them but saves his own skin instead. Maybe not the most subtle of messages but where have subtle messages gotten us in the past? I love symbolism and satire as much as the next guy but ambiguous media has a long history of being misinterpreted by morons (ex: Fight Club, The Catcher in the Rye, The Matrix, probably any dudebro movie you can think of tbh). Somehow I didn’t see it coming when Noa literally bit his d:asterisk_symbol:ck off but as a fan of gore and feminist horror that was f:asterisk_symbol:cking delightful.
