Dont Worry Darling (2022) - 6/10

Pretty bad script to be honest. It shows its hand about 20 min in and spends the rest of its run slowly revealing the painfully obvious. That said i could watch Florence Pugh white wash a fence and she's really good in this so its not all bad. If you only focus on her performance its a good time.

SPOILER: show
Its literally someone said "what if we did Get Out but about women?" and didnt spend a single second more thinking about it.

It mixes its metophors a few times and makes a few points it definitely didnt realize it was making that had they thought about it they wouldnt have made for the sake of its politics. Specifically about conspiratorial thought and a powerful government censorship apparatus.

Also shits on housewives in a pretty demeaning way. Nothing new about that though.

And ending a psychological thriller with a car chase is a tonal shift so bizarre its impossible not to completely check out from it. That sequence completely exposes the writers for the complete hacks they are.

How Olivia Wild wasnt publicly skewered for appropriating a significant piece of recent black cinema, in two thousand and twenty fucking two no less, to the point is broaches on plagiarism, but worse, is beyond me.
