Don't Worry Darling

A 1950s housewife living with her husband in a utopian experimental community begins to worry that his glamorous company could be hiding disturbing secrets.

 

The film does leave you with a few unanswered questions, but all in all its an entertaining movie. 

 

FUN FACT:  Reports of conflicts among the cast circulated the media for weeks leading up to the film's premiere. Harry Styles was reportedly Olivia Wilde's first choice for the role of Jack, but couldn't commit because it clashed with his touring schedule. Shia LaBeouf was then cast, but replaced again with Styles in September 2020 when his tour was postponed due to COVID-19, one month before filming began. LaBeouf's departure was first attributed to a scheduling conflict, but Variety reported in December that he was fired due to poor behavior and frequent clashes with Olivia Wilde and the cast, pointing out Wilde's "zero asshole policy" and LaBeouf's reputation for being difficult to work with. The controversy was revived in August 2022, when Wilde said in a Variety interview that LaBeouf's process and style were too combative for the production, while still wishing him well. LaBeouf then disputed the reports that he was fired, claiming that he quit despite Wilde's efforts to keep him on. A video message in which Wilde asks LaBeouf not to quit the film while alluding to conflicts with Florence Pugh was leaked online. Texts between Pugh and LaBeouf that were later leaked through a Tumblr account showed no clear evidence of their supposed conflicts.
