The Stepford Matrix

 

Don't Worry Darling (2022)


Directed by Olivia Wilde this film stars Florence Pugh, Harry Styles and Chris Pine. A couple live in a 1950s company town but all is not what it seems.


It would be a bit reductive to call this the Stepford Wives for the incel generation, it would be pretty close to on the money though. Despite decent performances and fairly good direction the script never goes anywhere interesting or offers us any new ideas. We need to go a bit deeper into the characters to actually have something interesting here.


3/5
