Cassie, dressed as a stripper in a nurse uniform, drugs the leering men and takes Al upstairs to a bedroom. But whatever it is that Cassie sees (and hears) propels her confront Ryan, break up with him, and blackmail him into helping her locate Al for her climactic revenge.Īnd so Cassie goes to find Al, who is celebrating his bachelor party with his best friends at a remote cabin in the woods. We never actually see the video that their former classmate Madison (Alison Brie) has given Cassie. In the movie’s third act, Ryan (Bo Burnham), Cassie’s new boyfriend, has broken her heart: She’s discovered that he witnessed Nina’s rape - possibly even egging on rapist Alexander Monroe (Chris Lowell). Now that it’s available on VOD, perhaps those conversations will happen in living rooms, over text and (lord help us) on Twitter. They would also be discussing - and probably arguing - about its ending. If theaters were currently open nationwide, audiences would be exiting cineplexes talking energetically about “Promising Young Woman” - about Mulligan’s tour-de-force performance, and what it’s saying about the world in which we live. Once back home, where she lives with her parents, she makes a mark in a notebook, and feels both satisfied and very sad. When he, again inevitably, begins to have sex with her - without her consent - Cassie then springs upon him that she’s stone-cold sober, shaming him. She goes to bars and acts wasted, and inevitably a man picks her up in order to, he tells himself and possibly his bros, get her home safely. We also know that Nina is dead.Īt some point before the movie’s action starts, Cassie began devoting herself to avenging Nina.
While we never find out exactly what happened afterward, what emerges is that Nina dropped out of school after a sham investigation - and so did Cassie, in order to take care of her. In “Promising Young Woman,” Carey Mulligan plays Cassie, whose childhood best friend, Nina, was raped during a raucous party in medical school.
