Emerald Fennell's Promising Young Woman is making waves at this year's Academy Awards.
The dark comedy thriller, which debuted last Christmas, follows the schemes of a woman seeking revenge for her best friend, who was raped. Fennell (who you may recognize as Camilla Parker Bowles on Netflix's The Crown) wrote, produced, and directed the movie, marking a breathtaking directorial debut.
"For a while, I'd been wanting to make a revenge movie about female rage, and to take the revenge trope and put a real woman at the center, with the physical limitations that most women have," Fennell previously told BAZAAR.com. "We're used to the idea of a violent journey, but I wanted to look at how a real woman might take revenge, and I had an idea that it would be kind of tricky and malevolent and existentially threatening, rather than something more run-of-the-mill and AK-47 based."
The Academy recognized both Fennell and leading woman Carey Mulligan with Oscar nominations, with Fennell getting a nod for Best Director and Original Screenplay, and Mulligan earning a nom for Best Actress. The film is also nominated in the categories of Best Picture and Best Film Editing.
