Emerald Fennell’s directorial debut, Promising Young Woman, makes a huge impression for a number of reasons, but there’s truly no shaking the events of the film after that gut-punch of an ending. The film concludes with Carey Mulligan’s character, Cassie, targeting the individual that put her on this path to begin with, Al Monroe (Chris Lowell), her best friend Nina’s rapist. By posing as a stripper, Cassie manages to drug the other guests at his bachelor party and handcuff Al to a bed. But, before Cassie manages to carve Nina’s name in Al’s skin, he escapes and smothers Cassie with a pillow, killing her.
