A third user said: “They had to show the Promising Young Woman spit scene in its entirety.” In a play on the title of the 1978 revenge thriller I Spit on Your Grave, someone else wrote: “PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN, or I SPIT ON YOUR COFFEE: the most daring, envelope-pushing film of 2014.” “Congratulations to Nomadland. But nothing beats the plot twist when they show a scene from Promising Young Woman and the scene was… Wait for it… THE SPIT SCENE.” Watch Apple TV+ free for 7 days New subscribers only.
