Apart from a couple who thought bringing a baby to the cinema to watch Don’t Worry Darling was a good idea, and the fact the film itself wasn't as fantastic as the hype, I had a very nice evening.
Thankfully the couple and baby exited within fifteen minutes which was nice of them. Onto Don’t Worry Darling itself and my first note of it rings very true. It was promoted to such an extent many had already rated it highly before watching. But what we had was a rather predictable outing with two of Hollywood's newest acting names on the block in Florence Pugh and Harry Styles. The latter is from a boy band and it shows, he is suave, and his role felt like it had been chosen first and then worked backwards to fit him in. Florence on the other hand is a natural talent but far from the finished article and their chemistry in this simply didn't rock my boat.
The story in itself was good but with few surprises nor magic. It was a film that was more Paul Daniels than High Street Magician whisking us into a deep frenzy of tense drama and twists, once the hand went into the top hat, all we got was a few cards, rather than a cuddly, and perhaps expected raging rabbit.
Olivia Wilde will take heart in her direction, which I have learned was under difficult circumstances, but the biggest plaudits for Don’t Worry Darling have to go to the costume designers and art departments, they really did put on a 50's show for us.
Don’t worry Darling has a mix of Wolf of Wall Street to it, with a twists and turns that will keep you entertained. It’s set in the 50’s and has a starring cast that bring life and entertainment to the big screen.
Olivia Wilde did well to pull this off..
