Set in the 1950’s, this period drama is about husband-and-wife Alice and Jack Chambers, who live in a utopian experimental community named Victory. However, disturbing truths come to light when Alice starts to worry about what’s behind the town Victory.
While filming, Olivia Wilde, director and actor, split with her long-time partner Jason Sudeikis and began dating the lead actor, pop star Harry Styles. Speculation is that Harry and Olivia may have had an affair on set. That timing would explain why Sudeikis served Wilde custody papers during a promotional stop in the movie. Also, Wilde and Florence Pugh, who plays Alice Chambers in the film, had an alleged on-set feud. It is believed this was due to Wilde and Styles continuously disappearing off set. Apparently, Florence wasn’t comfortable with the relationship between Harry and Olivia, since she used to date Zach Braff who’s a friend of Jason Sudeikis. Neither actress has commented on the alleged feud.
Don’t Worry Darling is an absolute thrilling film! This movie shows a sign that not most movies would want to do. It shows an intricate and visually captivating story where it displays the perspective of marriage dynamics. Although it has ups and downs it is an outstanding movie to watch. It has amazing acting even by Harry Styles who is a remarkable actor alongside Florence Pugh who shows a variety of emotions in the film.
