Very good. Plenty of both style and substance, and the two are complementary. For me it ended the right way - a film as much about the effects of trauma inflicted on women by male violence and patriarchal oppression as this one needed to stay the course, and it did. R told me about a podcast she listened to where one of the presenters was saying they wouldn't recommend it because of the moral dubiousness of Cassie's actions in taking revenge upon the perpetrators (including those complicit) and because the ending wasn't empowering for victims (survivors) of sexual assault, but to me both are, while reasonable, beside the point - the film's concern is with depicting the effects of such assault and the institutional and cultural structures that enable it, not with making a moral argument about how victims ought to or could respond. Carey Mulligan is great, and so is the casting of a cavalcade of 'nice guys' and the women who enable them.
