Review of Don't Worry Darling (2022) by Imatthenry — 14 Nov 2022

Order in chaos? This can be terrifying.

I went to watch it with a focus on concept. On the recommendation of a Youtube channel, about the criticism about "order in chaos". And... I'll tell you, it's pretty disturbing! Not frighteningly, more intriguingly.

First Olivia Wilde movie I watched. In addition to being an actress, she does very well working behind the camera. Pleasant direction for a second film.

Florence Pugh is amazing, especially in dramatic scenes. Anyone who watched Midsommar would say the same. Harry was equally phenomenal.

The art direction and photography simply did their homework, but that didn't surprise. But in combination with the soundtrack, they did a great job of holding your attention and gaining your tension.

The entire movie felt like a Black Mirror feature film, so much so that the desert setting is identical to "Smithereens", the second episode of season five. Not to mention the coincidence with "Upload" and "Matrix", which certainly had its influence.

The story will bring you a heavy reflection on order in chaos, enough to make your day a little uncomfortable, especially if you're one of those who ask questions about luck, bad luck, chaos and randomness.

The ending is one that leaves something to be desired. They could easily have lengthened the ending a little to give the plot a deserved conclusion. But still many of the reviews here do not reflect the quality of the film. It's a great thriller. I really recommend you to watch it.
