Movie #3038 "Don't Worry Darling" (I saw this on Icelandic Air, but it is available on HBO) This one had an implausible script with lots of holes in it, I thought. I know it is supposed to be a Sci Fi Thriller, but it should be somewhat believable to get its theme across. (like "Handmaid's Tale") This reminded me of "Stepford Wives," and I felt the same way about that film as this one. Okay, that being said, why did I continue watching it? One reason -- Florence Pugh. She is very good in this, and she tries to bring the message home to us, but the script just doesn't help her much. I also wanted to support a female director, and I usually like what Wilde does, but this one wasn't for me. I'd give it a 3 --- some nice images and moments, but that's about it -- but what about Harry Styles, right? He was just okay, playing a pretty boy who appears to be conflicted between loving his wife and loving his job that gives him a bunch of perks he might like better. And the ending? what did you make of that? Incoherent to me, but at that point I was very tired of watching this film.
