You can critique the movie without being sexist!) This is not to say that all the bad reviews were misogynistic, but most of the non-misogynistic reviews came down to the movie’s plot holes (a valid critique) or being confusing (which I can understand). The grand reveal of the movie comes when the audience – and Alice – find out that in the real world Alice was a medical doctor named Alice Warren who lived with her unemployed poorly-groomed boyfriend Jack as she struggled to provide for them. It is clear that Wilde and the entire cast wanted to go for something genre-bending, which was accomplished. “When it’s reduced to your sex scenes, or to watch the most famous man in the world go down on someone, it’s not why we do it. In the context in which we initially see the eating-out scene Alice and Jack are in love in their beautiful 1950s home.

I must admit – because scenes of female pleasure on the silver screen are so rare – I was pretty excited. Not in the way you would characterize Michael Cera or Audrey Plaza, but in the way where you can tell he is trying not to directly look in the camera lens as Olivia instructs him what to do. But in all fairness, this is not Pine’s fault, and the unanswered plot questions in regard to his character Frank did not help his case either. If most other actors were to try and suffocate themselves with saran wrap I would find it laughable, but because of Pugh’s excellent acting chops, this scene reads as the most disturbing in the film’s runtime. As you may have been able to infer, Florence Pugh was single-handedly the most captivating aspect of this film – second only to Gemma Chan and Kiki Layne’s performances despite their short-lived appearances.
Don't Worry Darling will be streaming on digital platforms much sooner than expected, Warner Bros. announced on Monday.
