The Forty Year Old Version and Promising Young Woman with Caroline Siede

With Sundance 2021 in the rearview, we take it back to look at two of the major releases from Sundance 2020 that are also writer/director first films, Radha Blank’s THE FOURTY-YEAR-OLD VERSION (00:02:06) and Emerald Fennell’s PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN (00:33:02). We are joined by writer and critic Caroline Siede to talk about theatre world satire, hip hop depiction, sitcom supporting actors, and revenge thriller subversions.
