Don't Worry Darling hits theaters today – read our spoiler-free review
Unless you’ve remained oblivious to the tabloid hysteria, you’ll know that Don’t Worry Darling has caused quite the social media stir in recent weeks. Not for anything much to do with the film itself, mind, but for the host of off-screen controversies that supposedly played out during and after its production.
Director Olivia Wilde’s sophomore feature is far from a badly-made movie, but its technical merits aren’t enough to forgive its labored plot – nor the silliness that arises before the credits roll. Set in the utopian Californian town of Victory in the 1950s, Don’t Worry Darling follows Alice and Jack Chambers , a young couple living a picture-perfect existence in a small community of equally perfect families.
Alice and the town’s other housewives are happy enough to cook, clean and socialize in the absence of their partners, with the understanding that they exercise discretion towards the Victory Project and the work it involves. But when strange occurrences begin to rock her daily routine, Alice launches an investigation into the true nature of her idyllic life.
The main reason Styles’ lack of professional training becomes so painfully obvious is Florence Pugh. Unfortunately, the Hollywood newcomer finds himself face-to-face with one of the best actors of this generation, and Pugh is never less than compelling as Alice.
