Another Round 2020
Vinterberg beautifully constructs his film through music, dance, colour and a sumptuous visual style which demonstrates such a love for life.

An intriguing premise but unfortunately not enough to rescue a fundamentally flawed film. Traversing genres can be interesting when done well, but for the most part, this felt like a collection of pointless scenes that advanced neither character nor plot. Poorly written and shot, Promising Young Woman feels like a film that thinks it’s cool but lacks real substance.
