don’t worry darling is like. unnecessarily trying to reinvent the stepford wives however it is inch resting to me that this movie got so buried by whatever was going on with the cast drama when it’s a movie that speaks to delusional radicalized incel bullshit + the stake that men have in controlling women’s lives and bodies + power dynamics etc etc which idk i just feel like even otherwise progressive people are so quick to completely shut down media with feminist themes if it’s too in-your-face about it and they’ll come up with a bunch of excuses about why it’s cringe. i’ve seen so many people be like “don’t even bother to watch the film, it probably sucks, the drama during production is way more entertaining” like whatever, it’s not a revolutionary movie, i liked it though and i think we still need explicitly feminist films and i have concerns about dismissing a film without even knowing the basic premise because of (what seem to me to be low stakes) interpersonal issues among the cast

#don’t worry darling #the reveal was both extremely obvious and pretty disturbing to me #i also think it was very appealing visually and of course florence pugh was very very good #also retro-futurist sci-fi will always get me. love that shit #it’s definitely unoriginal and there are some glaring flaws with the script but like.#it’s more interesting than anything marvel has put out in the last 7 years #and people are still all over that shit #idk it’s like the target audience for these types of films are also the people who are going to judge it the most harshly #which of course we should be critical etc but like. do we want ANY mainstream movies that don’t pander to the conservative ethos or what #anyway that’s just my onion about it
