Review: “Don’t Worry Darling”
Don’t Worry Darling has been on the wrong side of the internet for a long time leading up to its release in theaters for all the drama it has brought to Hollywood and its stars. Movies are supposed to bring drama, but the behind-the-scenes issues behind this film are almost laughable. Between the relationship between star and director Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles is a sore point, as well as the tension between Wilde and Florence Pugh. To go into all the rumors and drama behind the scenes would be more than enough to go into an entirely different article, but still worth mentioning as it will indeed affect how some view the film. At its core, Don’t Worry Darling is a psychological thriller that features some terrific work from its main star in Pugh as well as some incredible cinematography.
The plot follows Alice (Pugh) who is living in a dystopian mid-century cul-de-sac with her husband Jack (Styles). The pair are madly in love with one another and living the life they have always wanted. That status quo comes into question once Alice begins to notice the white picket fence ideal has cracks in it forcing her to question everything, including her own sanity. Everything within the community known as Victory is cleanly coordinated and carefully regimented, where the men are men that get to go off and do their top-secret work while the women keep the house clean, cook dinner and reward the men…
