Don't Worry Darling
Alice and Jack are lucky to be living in the idealized community of Victory, the experimental company town housing the men who work for the top-secret Victory Project and their families. But when cracks in their idyllic life begin to appear, exposing flashes of something much more sinister lurking beneath the attractive façade, Alice can’t help questioning exactly what they’re doing in Victory, and why.
Critics Sentiment
Margaret slits her throat and falls from roof
Jack confesses Victory is Frank's simulated world
The film plummets from its emotional peak during Margaret's suicide (8.3) to its lowest point with the simulation reveal (4.9), a drop of 3.4 points as critics found the twist predictable and underwhelming.
Don't Worry Darling starts strong with praised production design and Florence Pugh's exceptional performance building genuine intrigue and suspense. However, the film falters significantly in its final act when the long-awaited simulation reveal disappoints critics as predictable and poorly executed. While the visual craftsmanship and early mystery elements earned appreciation, the weak script and unsatisfying conclusion left most reviewers feeling the film squandered its potential.
