Don't worry darling, proposes a disturbing world, where we go from the perfect to the sinister. Alice's internal action, becomes increasingly externalized (...)The signs and spatial distortions are actually the awakening of Alice, symbolizing feminism.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Aug 22, 2024

If Don’t Worry Darling was supposed to be some sort of “women power” awakening or commentary on our society’s failure to recognize a rise in ‘incel’ behavior, it failed miserably—and did so with as little substance as possible.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 25, 2024

Don’t Worry Darling isn’t a layered cinematic masterpiece, yet it doesn’t need that status in order to be effective and entertaining.

| Jul 17, 2024

It’s a bizarre experience that doesn’t always work. But underneath that is a noble attempt at experimentation and commentary.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 15, 2024

Depending on what you consider worth going to the cinemas, “Don’t Worry Darling” will be worth the price for the cinematography alone or a fun on-demand watch if you hunger for more “Black Mirror” or “The Twilight Zone” in the comfort of your home.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 9, 2024

It is less than the sum of Florence Pugh's performance.

| Dec 21, 2023

Despite great chemistry between Pine and Pugh and amazing production & costume design, the obvious and nonsensical plot and Harry Styles' unconvincing performance ultimately sinks the film. Also: Why is this 2 hours long?!

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 23, 2023

There is a great film in the bones of the one we are presented with, one that is neater and more compact and doesn’t struggle with the internal logic it presents.

| Sep 17, 2023

An array of half-baked ideas that add up to nothing much more than a world of mirages.

| Original Score: D | Jul 29, 2023

The ample running time clocks in at just over two hours, and there is no doubt that Don’t Worry Darling would be improved with at least 15 fewer minutes of the simmering dread...

| Jul 27, 2023

Don't Worry Darling isn’t a bad psychological thriller. It merely crumbles under the weight of its own mediocrity.

| Jul 25, 2023

a puzzle box of a movie with an engaging premise that dives into themes of control. Florence Pugh is INCREDIBLE, Harry Styles holds his own, & Olivia Wilde really ups her game as a director here… but left wanting more from the film

| Jul 25, 2023

If this was expected to be a groundbreaking comment on feminism, then it missed the mark by a long shot.

| Jul 25, 2023

Don’t Worry Darling is ultimately a film about a woman who tries her best to free herself from a reality controlled by whiny, narcissistic men who’d rather take the easy way out than have a conversation and face their issues.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 25, 2023

There are worse movies than Don’t Worry Darling, and there are certainly better ones too. Some thrillers are better able to blend science fiction and shocking twists with dazzling imagery, and others manage to drop the ball more. Ultimately, it's fine.

| Jul 24, 2023

Olivia Wilde's dystopian thriller is a lovely poison, meaning that while it's beautiful on the surface, it's disorienting and head-scratching underneath – mostly because of that twist.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jul 21, 2023

"Don't Worry Darling" has many imperfections, but it shows that Wilde can do more than indie comedies, and that she is willing to take on daunting projects.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 16, 2023

The plotting is completely incoherent and balanced atop a trembling tower of absurdities.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 17, 2023

Pugh, Styles, and Pine pour themselves into their roles... grinds to a halt in the third act when we get the presumed twist... it defies logic no one would take it farther. A captivating idea whose explanation rips you out of it.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 28, 2022

DON’T WORRY DARLING is a poisoned fairy tale, and is a story of the reclamation of the self that is thrilling, beautiful, and thematically on the mark. It’s so on the mark, in fact, that it’s liable to make people angry, especially men.
