'There’s a belief here in telling a story of a real woman who has flaws like any human has flaws and trying to sort of eradicate this idea that women are a certain way and, or are representations on screen of just of women being either wonderful and perfect or absolute disasters.’ Both Carey Mulligan and Emerald Fennell have been Oscar nominated for their work in (also Oscar-nominated) Promising Young Woman. The comedy thriller starring Laverne Cox, Alison Brie and Jennifer Coolidge sees Cassie (Mulligan) seek revenge for her best friend, who is a rape survivor. Here Mulligan and the film's director, Fennell, explore the women they are inspired by (spoiler alert: Greta Thunberg!) and female story telling and why it's important.
