It's been quite a week for Emerald Fennell, the writer/director of Promising Young Woman. First, she won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. And now comes the ultimate honour: an appearance on the Empire Podcast. (Kidding, kidding...)
In this spoiler special dedicated to her debut film, Fennell talks with Helen O'Hara about the many twists and turns of the film, which sees Carey Mulligan play a woman who enacts a very particular campaign against sexual predators. And then, after the interview, Helen joins Chris Hewitt and Terri White for an in-depth chat about the film, its themes, and its impact. This includes frank discussion of some delicate areas, including the impact of sexual assault and emotional trauma, so do be advised in advance.
