Another movie with bad ratings despite it not being out yet. What's up with that?

Don't understand why this movie is so negatively criticized.

I thought it was a good movie, sure, there are some doubts about the death of Harry Styles, that is, why if one dies in the virtual world, he should also die in the real world, the ending then is also predictable, but I still found it a good movie. Florence Pugh as usual incredibly good and proves to be a young and talented girl, she will surely make her way in the film world ; Harry Styles, although I thought he would suck, was also good in acting. Peculiar and beautiful soundtrack, I appreciated it very much.

6.5/10

Miss Flo completely carryied this movie. I must say it has really terrific plot with dark twist and second half is completely messed up. Exactly as this kind of movie should be. Psychological thriller with surprising ending, I was burried in the seat for last hour with open mouth.

I dont understand two story elements: [spoiler] Why was Frank killed by his wife at the end? It doesnt make any sense except some feministic agenda. There was no indication at all that she would want to do that and probably she knew what was going on. Second thing is, why Alice didnt react on Frank saying that she was in his bedroom? Does it mean that Frank has some Administratior rights to every girl inside and men must agree to this terms?[/spoiler]

Obviously a very flawed film. That being said, it looks gorgeous and kept me interested all the way to the end - more than I can say for some other movies.

Now that that's out of the way, let's talk about all the plot points this movie never bothers to explain:
[spoiler] 1. What was the plane crash?
2. Why did Gemma Chan kill Frank at the end?
3. Why did Margaret's child disappear?
4. What was happening when Alice got crushed up against the glass? And when she sees Margaret smash her head into the mirror? And what was with the empty eggs?
5. Can you imagine whatever you want in the world, like in Inception? Does Frank control the world?
6. What were all the earthquakes/rumbles?
7. Why did one guy tell his wife they were making weapons?
8. Olivia Wilde's character is there because she lost her children - [/spoiler] that seemed like an interesting story which was not explored at all.
And on and on...

I don’t think the vast majority of negative reviews are warranted. Yes Harry Styles is never going to win any awards any time soon for acting but he certainly wasn’t as bad as people made out. The story wasn’t exactly original but it kept me interested and more importantly awake which is always a decent sign

A movie with Florence Pugh always has some weird stuff, and this movie was no different. This movie is a pretty big mindf*ck.

Personally, I enjoyed it a lot and would definitely recommend it.

A film that proves that high-concept and shallow are not mutually exclusive. I genuinely enjoy Florence Pugh and Chris Pine, and Harry Styles holds his own, but the story doesn't take those strong performances anywhere interesting. It feels like a classic example of style over substance. And that's not to say that the style is unappreciated. The production design is excellent and certainly helped keep me invested, but the story is left feeling underdeveloped, perhaps leaning too hard on its blunt social commentary.

As for concrete criticisms go, I'm definitely not a fan of the many unexplained/illogical story elements (e.g. [spoiler]Why is the VR world experiencing earthquakes? What's the deal with the crashed plane? Styles' real world character is initially established as an unemployed loser who is getting sucked into a brain washing, incel-esque community rather than get a job. This seems to contradict the ultimate reveal that his character now works a job he hates just to fund his idyllic VR homelife. It seems like an unemployed, deadbeat loser would be more likely to coast along, supported by his hard working doctor partner, regardless of how much he craves dated gender/relationship norms[/spoiler]).

The premise is interesting enough. Seemed similar to Severance or Get Out. Unfortunately, it is nothing you haven’t seen before in say, a Black Mirror episode. Definitely not as bad as the ratings seem to indicate though.

Florence Pugh is great and I’m interested to see is Harry styles is a good actor

Just wasn't for me. The first 1.5 hours had me sitting there thinking WTF is going on. The last 30 minutes was pretty good though. Thankfully I had a hamburger, fries, a beer and some popcorn to keep me going.

Already seen several times, the stories about perfect lives submerged in a deception or evil plan that the protagonists discover need to be interesting, either in the way people realize the deception, or in their struggle to get out of it. Don't worry darling, although it has solid performances by the leads, and a sound design suitable for the plot, it is not interesting in its resolution of the conflict. There are some loose ends and necessary information that is not explained, which makes one as a viewer when the outcome arrives, ending up feeling disappointed. Added to all the controversy that the cast have generated, Don't worry darling could be classified as the disappointment of the summer. The only thing that could make it worthwhile would be a second part where we learn more about the evil organization or life outside of it, but I don't think that will happen.

A psychological drama mystery thriller with 1950s aesthetics. It's beautifully shot, well directed and visually stunning. It takes so long to reveal the mystery and by the time it's actually revealed most people will have already guessed it, it's so predictable. The story lost me a little before things are revealed but Florence Pugh's performance is what saved the movie and what kept me watching she's so good. Harry Styles is no oscar winner by any stretch but he definitely doesn't deserve the hate he was fine. While it's definitely entertaining (because of Flo) it doesn't do all that much in it's 2 hour runtime and leaves you with unfinished character arcs and questions.

Definitely not what I thought it would be. Really, I felt this was all set up and very little pay off, but not as bad as people are saying it is.

[spoiler] The twist is like matrix but the machines have been replaced by neckbeards [/spoiler]

No idea how anyone can dislike this. Don't Worry Darling is thrilling, it's entertaining, it's beautifully shot, the production design is great, the costumes & hair styles were gorgeous, the entire feel and look of the movie is just impressive, there is Powell's magnificent soundtrack as well (which I'll be having on repeat for the rest of the month) and most important of all - we got yet another FLORENCE PUGH masterclass!!! Don’t get fooled by the drama surrounding this movie and go see Don’t Worry Darling on the biggest screen possible!
