Review: Olivia Wilde’s derivative dystopian thriller “Don’t Worry Darling” features of bevy of stars including Harry Styles and Florence Pugh but offers little beyond the pleasure of gawking at the beautiful people, writes Peter Howell.
Starring Florence Pugh, Harry Styles, Olivia Wilde, Chris Pine, Gemma Chan, KiKi Layne, Nick Kroll, Kate Berlant, Timothy Simons, Sydney Chandler, Douglas Smith, Asif Ali and Ari’el Stachel. Written by Katie Silberman from a story by Carey and Shane Van Dyke. Directed by Olivia Wilde. Opens Friday at theatres everywhere. 123 minutes.
So much commotion for such a sedate film, which looks fabulous — the 1950s never shone so brightly — but doesn’t have an original thought to ponder, a logical path to pursue or thrills beyond the swirl of a swizzle stick. All we are expected to do, really, is to gawk at the beautiful people, homes and cars on display.
Into this artificial paradise come Alice and Jack Chambers , a young couple so crazy in love they engage in carnal pleasure on the dining room table as a roast beef and trimmings tumble to the floor. Vague warnings voiced by an unhappy Victory resident, Margaret , whom the town doctor dismisses as depressed and delusional, further pique Alice’s curiosity. She intends to find out what’s really going on.
