You won't like her when she's angry.
so it’s easy — or maybe just a little bit lazy — to seeuniverse: Another giddy exercise in unhinged sociopathy and high-feminist style.
It is, at least in part, but Cassie is no Villanelle. She’s a lonely girl with long Rapunzel hair who still lives at home, to the exasperation of her worried parents , and works, barely, at a coffee shop run by an extremely understanding boss . Nearly all her free time is consumed with planning her “missions”: takedowns of the men she meets at bars and clubs by playing dress-up and then pretending to be too inebriated to stand. She’s the fake-drunk honey; they’re the predatory bees.
It’s all, we come to learn, for her best friend, Nina, who experienced some kind of traumatic and terribly public sexual assault in medical school and never recovered. She dropped out, so Cassie did too. Now she has all the time she needs to dedicate herself to setting things right in Nina’s name.
Will Fennell let it last? That’s a question only the third act can answer, and it does, in a swerve that spins the story in a wildly different direction — one that’s much riskier for the rhythm of the film, but also far more thought-provoking. As satire,‘s first two acts are fun but broad: a winky, wildly stylized slice of girl-powered revenge porn.
Burnham is phenomenal, too as Ryan, a fully drawn unicorn in a sea of male-privilege cartoons. The tone of Fennel’s script on that subject and many others has a tendency to wobble, more than once, but where takes them — and what it has to say about Cassie’s choices in the end — feel destined to be debated long after the last outrageous frame.Promising Young Woman
