My Take
Emerald Fennell intrigues me because she works like a satirist disguised as a confectioner. Her films look like luxury desserts — glossy, candy-colored, seductive — and then the razor blade appears. The Academy Award for Promising Young Woman's screenplay confirmed she understands exactly how charm conceals cruelty, perhaps because she is also a working actress who knows performance from the inside. Critics argue over whether her provocations fully cohere, and I will admit her later work divided me. But I would rather watch a filmmaker swing this hard and split opinions than one who plays it safe. Oxford polish, tabloid instincts — a potent mix.
