This film definitely did not have the ending that everyone is expecting. It's not the ending you'd expect in any film about assault, rape, murder, etc. This movie was made to be entertaining but also very BLUNT to get an important message across. When you see this in theaters, you'll leave with a sense of disappointment in the ending (but not with the film).
The disappointment in the ending however, directly correlates to the thought of "I wish that would've ended differently" that goes through many victims' minds after being raped or assaulted. Going home drunk with "a guy from the bar" or even being alone with a longtime friend shouldn't result in rape or being taken advantage of - but often does. The thought of "i wish that would've ended differently" definitely echos in that same sentiment.
Promising Young Woman challenges the idea of what a "good guy" actually is. PYW attacks the idea of there being a "gray area" in regards to placing someone at fault.
The cinematography is beautiful and purposeful. Carey Mulligan, Bo Burnham, Alison Brie, & Laverne Cox all did an excellent job at acting through such important roles. This movie is triggering, healing, and educational. Please go see it.
