"Not only did he relish the opportunity to allow for the brilliant @florencepugh to hold center stage as our 'Alice,' but he infused every scene with a nuanced sense of humanity," Wilde wrote.

> > Don't Worry Darling has finally arrived in theaters, after months of buzz that went from eager to toxic seemingly overnight. As Olivia Wilde's sophomore feature-length directorial effort, following her universally praised teen comedy Booksmart Regrettably, that's not great news. The sultry thriller is stuffed with dazzling stars like Florence Pugh, Harry Styles, Chris Pine, Gemma Chan, KiKi Layne, Kate Berlant, and Wilde herself, all done up to the nines in '50s-style garb. However, Wilde's attempt at unnerving suspense is steadily undone by a screenplay (written by Booksmart's Katie Silberman, based on a story by Carey Van Dyke and Shane Van Dyke) that offers more plot holes than plot points. If you've ever seen a girl-gets-gaslit drama before (think Midsommar, Rosemary's Baby, The Stepford Wives, Gaslight), you'll easily clock the standard steps of a heroine being steadily belittled so she'll doubt her own eyes. But even as the wool is pulled away from them, Don't Worry Darling's calamitously rushed final act leaves us with way more questions than answers. So, let's dive in. Here are our burning questions about the end of Don't Worry Darling. 1. What's Don't Worry Darling about? Credit: Warner Bros. Pictures Florence Pugh stars as Alice Chambers, a happy homemaker married to Jack (Harry Styles), a technical engineer whose work on the Victory Project gives the couple exclusive housing in a remote gated community with every amenity, from swimming pools to shopping cent...

Running time 123 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $35 million Box office $87.6 million Don't Worry Darling is a 2022 American Following the critical success of Wilde's feature directorial debut Don't Worry Darling premiered at the Plot [ ] Alice and Jack Chambers are a couple who live in Victory, Alice spends her days with other wives, including her best friend Bunny. One resident, Margaret, has become an outcast after experiencing a mental breakdown and taking her son into the desert, resulting in his apparent death, although she claims Victory took him from her as punishment for breaking the rules. At a party hosted by Victory's enigmatic founder, Frank, Alice witnesses Margaret's husband attempt to give her medication after an outburst. Alice and Jack then have sex in Frank's bedroom, but she notices Frank watching in secret. Riding the trolley across town, Alice sees a plane crash in the desert and rushes to help. She stumbles onto Headquarters in the desert and touches one of its mirror-like windows, experiencing surreal hallucinations about another life before waking up at home that night. In the following days, she experiences increasingly strange occurrences and receives a phone call from Margaret, who claims to have seen the same things. After brushing off Margaret, Alice witnesses her slit her own throat and fall from her roof. Before she can reach Margaret's body, Alice is dragged away by men in red jumpsuits who work for Frank and experienc...

And some people have the Don’t Worry Darling press tour. Personally, everything I’ve learned about the feature film — which stars Florence Pugh and should use a comma after “worry” in its title — has been against my will. I couldn’t tell you the plot (something about ’50s housewives?) but know all too much about the supposed behind-the-scenes drama, from the interviews to the non-interviews, the snubs and the Shia and the spit takes. Now that I’ve experienced the Don’t Worry Darling press tour, I wish I could go back in time and live in a world where I didn’t. Much of the drama comes back to director Olivia Wilde, who among other things told Variety that only women have While filming, Wilde split with her longtime partner Jason Sudeikis and began dating the lead of Don’t Worry, pop star Harry Styles. Speculation is that Wilde and Styles may have had Don’t Worry, hasn’t been on the same page as her director. While Wilde has been effusive about Pugh, Pugh has not been promoting this movie or returning Wilde’s warmth. And in one of the rare moments when she has spoken abo...

It would be easy to kick off a review of It also would be incorrect, because everything actually iswhat it seems in Victory. “Don’t Worry Darling” is so clearly, so obviously not set in an idyllic ’50s community that to say the film packs a twist is not at twist at all. It’s disingenuous, easy, cheeky — much like the film itself, which starts off strong before crumbling into baffling storytelling choices made worse by the revolting intentions behind them. More frustrating is that the film also offers stunning craft work, a wonderfully immersive quality, and one of star Wilde’s first film, charming high-school comedy “Booksmart,” showed the actress-turned-filmmaker’s skill with directing her own cast. “Don’t Worry Darling” provides a major step up, both in the demands she’s placed on her performers and the need to build out its own world. Wilde re-teamed with her “Booksmart” screenwriter Katie Silberman, who refashioned a previous script from brothers Carey and Shane Van Dyke (yes, the grandsons of Dick Van Dyke), to present a lush fairy tale about people who seem to have it all. Seembeing the operative word here. Set in the perfectly designed town of Victory (as if “Leave It to Beaver” was set in Palm Springs), “Don’t Worry Darling” follows young housewife Alice Chamber (Pugh) as she begins to suspect that her lavish existence is, well, not what it seems.
