As #spitgate fuels the Don't Worry Darling controversy, we're missing the bigger issue... Read more on Grazia.
about the film’s sex scenes, Olivia and Harry’s relationship, and suggestions of a rift between leading lady and director. So what’s going on? And why shouldYou may know Olivia as an actor, from shows such as House and The OC and films including Tron: Legacy. She broke into directing with 2019’s excellent teen comedy Booksmart and was identified as a real talent.
Yet all of these controversies could be devastating, especially if the film now suffers at the box office. Historically, female directors don’t get another chance if they’re labelled ‘difficult’. David O Russell can get in a fist-fight with George Clooney and keep working; Westerns director Sam Peckinpah used to fire a gun on set and still got jobs.
But someone like Olivia has to behave impeccably in every situation, be friends with every actor, make a good film, raise her kids and look fantastic in order to escape criticism. Even if some of the negative stories about her are true, we should ask ourselves – as the film does – whether we’re keeping other women down by buying into these impossible demands.
