Don't Worry Darling, hottest gossip on the Don't Worry circuit, turned out to be a sophisticated but familiar story about the murky goings-on behind a happy domestic facade. The film's attacks on outdated gender roles and abusive tech wizards are part of director Olivia Wilde's feminist commitments, but her predictability is also somewhat.
Don't Worry Darling, more than ever, it would have been exciting to see a director with Wilde's good faith pose the provocative question that Don't Worry Darling hints at but doesn't quite confront: What should feminism do with women who wonder if liberation is a bad deal?
From the start of Don't Worry Darling it's obvious that there will be a plot twist. Alice (Florence Pugh) and her husband Jack (Harry Styles) live in a suburb called Victory, which looks like a mid-century modern dream, where the women keep immaculate homes while the men hold mysterious jobs and humiliate themselves. to get the approval of Frank (Chris Pine), the local architect. Clearly, not everything is what it seems, and the only woman brave enough to say so is stigmatized as crazy.
But when the twist comes, Don't Worry Darling lays bare all the wasted political potential (one final warning to stop reading if you haven't seen the movie yet and hope you'll be surprised).
Alice used to be a surgeon. Castrated and disturbed by the contrast between his stalled career and Alice's success, Jack becomes an acolyte of Frank, a more sinister and seductive version of Canadian psychologist turned masculinity guru Jordan Peterson. Jack drugs Alice and keeps her chained to a four-poster bed, where sophisticated glasses project an immersive illusion into her forcibly opened eyes. Her life in Victory is a simulation, designed and supervised by Frank. Jack, like the other men who live there, has agreed to take care of the body of his personal wife in the real world, and to build Frank's movement in exchange for the opportunity to reside in a fantasy. retrograde
When Alice regains her memory of her old life and confronts Jack about what he has done, the husband insists that he did it all for their benefit. After all, he did free her from her miserable medical wards! He is making a sacrifice by leaving the simulation on a daily basis for a job that pays for Alice's prison!.
The message is strong: only a pathetic monster steals a woman's life and reframes the kidnapping as a gift. Only a loser needs to destroy a woman to feel better about himself.
However, there is a much more interesting and much more dangerous question behind that accusation of Jack's motivations. Why would someone choose to live in Victory?.
For Alice's neighbor Bunny (played by Wilde herself), the projection provides HD relief from the pain. In the real world, as she tells Alice, her children have died. In Victory she at least has simulations of them: they are eternal rascals who get off the school bus every day to cause disasters in their perfect garden. It's a tantalizing but vastly underdeveloped subplot: viewers never find out how Bunny found Frank.

From a fully seasonal kitchen with wood cabinetry, a garden with outdoor furniture upholstered in playful textiles, and a living room highlighted by modern, vibrantly colored furnishings, whimsical figured lamps, and a vintage television, this home seems to come out of a commercial or a catalog of those years.

Florence Pugh and Harry Styles star in Olivia Wilde's new film, Don't Worry Darling, which opened in theaters on September 22. Set designers Rachael Ferrara and Katie Byron revealed in an interview that actor Chris Pine, who plays Frank in the film, was very interested in items from the venue.
The drama thriller is set in the 1950s and follows the story of Alice (Pugh), an unhappy housewife who begins to question her own sanity when she notices strange occurrences in her small community, known as Project Victoria. in the California desert. Meanwhile, her husband Jack (Styles) hides a dark secret.
The scenery of Don't Worry Darling is one of the most striking elements of the film and, in an interview with BioBioChile, Rachael Ferrara and Katie Byron shared the funny story of how Chris Pine reacted to seeing the set for the first time and what that focused his attention.
According to Ferrara and Byron, Pine was one of the first actors to visit locations. The Star Trek and Wonder Woman actor, who plays one of the creators of the Victoria project, was fascinated by what he saw, but headed straight for the curtains.
It is indisputable that Don't Worry Darling is the most scandalous film of 2022. With rumours, new couples and apparent conflicts between the cast, the second film directed by Olivia Wilde was put in the spotlight of moviegoers. But beyond those problems, the production managed to have its theatrical release. And what few noticed is that her protagonist, Florence Pugh, marked a milestone in the musical career of her partner, Harry Styles.
What is Don't Worry Honey about? The Warner Bros. production follows Alice and Jack, a couple who enjoy Victoria's comfort. It is about an experimental city in which all the men who live there work on a top secret project that allows them to maintain the lifestyle of society in the 1950s. In addition to luxury, persecution and dark secrets, the film presents a catchy song that plays from beginning to end.
Don't Worry Darling reviews are in, and Harry Styles may want to look the other way.
Critical reception for Olivia Wilde's upcoming sci-fi thriller, starring Styles opposite Florence Pugh, has ranged from average to poor, while the social media frenzy surrounding it has been captivating.
However, critics praised Pugh for her role as Alice, a 1950s housewife who lives with her husband [Styles] in a utopian experimental community.
While Pugh's performance has received praise, Styles' performance as Jack has been labeled everything from robotic to unfunny.
Styles lacks charisma, writes Geoffrey Macnab for The Independent in his three-star review.
Jack is a one-dimensional figure, and the One Direction star fails to give him any hidden depth. Pugh is by far the most vivid and compelling personality in the film. She plays Alice in such a fierce way that most of the other characters seem robotic by comparison.
Macnab's sentiment is shared by several critics, none more so than Marlow Stern for The Daily Beast, who writes, Styles has trouble matching [Pugh's] sweeping intensity.
The musician is like a confused deer for much of the process, and a scene where he cries in the car after a pretty vicious fight with Pugh is full of more crocodile tears than Charlie Sheen is when he is dragged out of his office by the police at end of 'Wall Street'.
Similarly, Steph Green writes for the BBC that Styles doesn't feel quite up to the material here, with a lackluster delivery of lines and a lack of contrast that makes his two-handed scenes with Pugh slump.
it's (almost) over now: the sun, relaxation, holidays and carefree days. From September we return to the good, old "normality" but there is a way - very pleasant - to metabolize the shock of returning and console oneself for the end of the holidays: think of all the good films that await us, in the autumn, in the cinema. Yes, because it is - fortunately - also cinema that starts again. Here are the big movies that we will all talk about and that will animate our autumn evenings.
