Carey Mulligan, who rose to fame for roles in films like An Education and Drive, has been nominated for her second Oscar for her performance in the dramatic thriller Promising Young Woman. "No Small Parts" takes a look at her versatile acting career.
Pushing thirty, and defined by a hideous crime involving her bosom friend, Nina, emotionally scarred medical school dropout, Cassie, knows firsthand that some wounds never heal. Leading an uneventful existence, still living with her parents, waiting tables at a cheap coffee shop to earn a living, Cassie has found the perfect way to deal with the painful past. Dressed to kill, at night, Cassie frequents the local bars and nightclubs, pretending to be dead-drunk, utterly helpless and vulnerable. And, every week, lethally beautiful Cassie is on the prowl for all sorts of nocturnal predators and other wolves in sheep's clothing, who are unaware that, sometimes, the hunter can become the prey. Then, Ryan, a kindly and caring old classmate who is the bee's knees, enters the picture, and just like that, Cassie wants out. However, everybody knows that breaking bad habits is easier said than done. Could Ryan be the one? Written by Nick Riganas
It's a comedy, but not really.
It's a thriller, but not really.
There's a romantic element, but it's certainly not a romance film.
I'm not sure exactly how to describe it, except to say that this film crosses several genres, and that I thought it was very creative and interesting. It reminded me a little of 'A Simple Favor', except not quite so dark.
Carey Mulligan is superb. Bo Burnham is very funny. I wanted to punch nearly every other male character in the film.
