DON'T WORRY DARLING (2022) Grade: D+

Messy script. Shot well but the plot is a slow burn with a rush ending. Immediately thought of the Stepford Wives. Not missing much besides Florence Pugh good acting.

Not much of a movie in my opinion, and it didn't really have an ending.

Don't Worry Darling (2022, dir. Olivia Wilde) - review by Rookie-Critic

Don't Worry Darling was not anywhere close to as bad as I've been seeing people say it is. I'm not sure I would say it was necessarily good, but I just wanted to say up top that it isn't bad by any means. Now, a lot of what I'm saying here is pretty much what a lot of the critics are saying, so it might sound a little echo-y in here, but it is how I really feel.First off, what I like about the film was that, from a technical standpoint, it was fantastic: lighting, editing, directing, production design, cinematography, it all looked gorgeous and in that way it is a very pleasant viewing experience. The first 2 acts are gripping and entertaining and the acting, especially from Florence Pugh and Chris Pine, is phenomenal. Pugh, at times, is almost single-handedly carrying the film on her back, and just continues to prove how much of a talent she is with every new film she puts out.

Ok, now let's talk about what I thought didn't work. Harry Styles, regrettably, is the one acting weak point in the entire film. His accent work in this is beyond strange. At the start, it feels like he is attempting, poorly, to do an American accent. As the film progresses, it feels like his accent slips more and more into British, but not even his natural British accent. It more sounds like an American poorly attempting a British accent. Without saying too much about the plot, there are arguments people could make as to why that is, but this really didn't feel intentional. Maybe it just stands out because everyone else is doing a real bang-up job and Pugh, who shares a lot of her screen time with Styles and is also British, is doing a flawless American accent.

The other big problem, the biggest I would say, is the ending. I'm not even talking about the big reveal of the answer to the central mystery, I had no qualms with that, but the last 10-to-15 minutes of the film is, frankly, just a giant mess. There are multiple plot lines that feel shoe-horned into a conclusion in an attempt to wrap up all loose ends before the final moment, while there are other subplots that don't get closure at all. In fact, there is one in particular that is incredibly confusing, and made to raise more questions from a narrative perspective than it answers. I hate that this wasn't good. Olivia Wilde is a wonderful filmmaker (or, at least, her first film, the hilarious coming-of-age comedy Booksmart, was wonderful), and by all accounts this film and its message are incredibly well-intentioned. Sure, it is a conversation that many a film before this one has had with its audience, but it is one that is incredibly important and, sadly, still needs to be had. I really wanted to like this despite all the bad press and the drama, but the truth is that, for me, it couldn't stick the landing on a very promising premise, and ended up just being ok overall.

Score: 6/10

Currently streaming on HBO Max.
