The Promising Young Woman star talks about the role and her view of the movie saying, "It’s funny because the reaction I first had when I read the script was, ‘This is so romantic.'".

“What we reflected on, making this film, was the amount of real-life stories like this we know,” she says. “A lot of this film is stuff that pretty much every woman I know has experienced in some way.”
She also goes on to talk about how much the #MeToo movement has changed Hollywood, witnessing firsthand a change in her industry.
"The first concrete measure I saw was doing a play at the Royal Court called Girls & Boys,” she says. “They gave us a document that was a code of conduct… I had never had that in my career.”

“If that had been going on when I started at 18, it would have felt different. Now, I really think it would be wild for something to happen on set. No one would turn a blind eye,” she continued.
Among the theme of the movie, Mulligan also shared her view on the importance of female friendship and alliance.
“My female friendships have become increasingly important – particularly the ones with friends I made when I was 14 at school,” she says.
“It’s something about doing stages of life together and supporting each other.”
