Sinopsis(1)
Todos pensaban que Cassie (Carey Mulligan) era una joven muy prometedora… hasta el día en que un misterioso suceso hizo descarrilar su futuro. Pero nada en la vida de Cassie es lo que parece: es un portento de inteligencia, su astucia no tiene límites y vive una doble vida nocturna. De pronto, un encuentro le dará a Cassie la oportunidad de corregir lo que ocurrió en el pasado en una historia tan conmovedora como inesperada. (Universal Films Española)

Estaba muy emocionado y emocionado, y fui recompensado con un thriller excelente y bien pensado liderado por la inusualmente áspera y segura Carey Mulligan, que tengo guardada en mi memoria especialmente con roles femeninos suaves y delicados. Me divertí con el misterio que rodeaba a Cassie y constantemente reflexionaba sobre lo que le había sucedido en el pasado y lo que la llevó a comportarse de la manera en que lo hace por las noches. Y en el final, grité de entusiasmo.

Un revenge-flick producto del estado de ánimo del #metoo, en un envase pop, con un buen casting, con una caracterización del personaje principal más sin esfuerzo de lo que nos tienen acostumbrados las películas de venganza similares. Carey Mulligan es simpática, pero las menciones a una actuación «de oscar» son una exageración. Y, en cualquier caso, la película no sobrepasa los límites creativos de una obra única y juguetona, original solo por la ambientación del tema en la corriente principal. La magia de los aspirantes a guionistas en el final, por otro lado, confirma sus límites creativos dentro de los confines de un mero drama adolescente. Nación salvaje fue más atrevida y elegante dentro de estos esquemas.

One of the few #metoo films with a heroine who’s an interesting and complex character, whose actions can be viewed quite critically, but are still somehow understandable. Add to that Carey Mulligan’s impressive performance and you get something really fun to watch, even if some situations stink of screenwriting meddling. Another thing worth mentioning is the soundtrack and one of the most satisfactory endings in a long time.

A solid crime thriller starring the brilliant and good-looking Carey Mulligan, who at 36 looks great. The protagonist is traumatized by a tragic event from the past and seeks revenge on all men who abuse women under the influence of alcohol. The concept is great and it's a bit of a shame that the film avoids violence, as in a few scenes it clearly called for it, but it seems to be aimed at academic awards, so maybe that's why. The film flows at a good pace, can be funny in certain scenes, occasionally creates a decent psycho atmosphere, and the ending is definitely unexpected, although not entirely satisfying. A decent film that captivates more with its story, actors, and atmosphere, and if it didn't shy away from brutality, it would be even better. Story****, Action>No, Humor***, Violence>No, Entertainment****, Music***, Visual****, Atmosphere****, Tension***. 7.5/10.

It would be tempting to say that it's an uncritical critical success primarily because of the subject matter and the gender behind the script and direction, but that would be unfair to the author. The qualities in this case are due to the way the current #MeToo issue is conceived "with balls" and free of obscene declamations. I don't share the objections to the author's black-and-white "men are pigs" vision when it's the women (Madison, the dean, the ambivalent anti-heroine Cassie herself) who contribute to the overall effect/impact of "rape culture" here, after all, that's what the two acts of the revenge plan are all about. What's more, even if it did, it rides such a surgically precise black-humor wave about an achingly serious subject with a clever, deliberately overblown 80s pop neon styling that it's impossible not to fall for. Carey, then, is as engrossing as she is disturbing with her complex "PTSD performance" in the whirlwind of a self-destructive spiral of vendetta, and so perhaps only the line with Ryan grates a little too much, because it's too obvious from the start why she's there and where she's going with it. The weakest link is of course the hotly debated ending. Not the ending itself – that one is perfect –, but rather the epilogue. On the face of it, it's delivered in a way that brings satisfaction, but the further away from the screening, the more obvious it becomes that it's redundant and takes the whole thing a bit too far. It could and should have ended already in a surgery or a non-literal postal package.
