Don't Worry Darling, what a truly bizarre cinematic experience. I won't go into the off screen stuff because it's confusing and involves spit and I think Shia Labouf (is that how you spell it? That looks wrong... I'm not googling it) is involved.
But the madness isn't purely off screen. Don't Worry Darling is the most mixed of bags. Florence Pugh is so good, that needs to be said off the bat, she carries this movie.
Harry Styles isn't as horrific as the internet made out, but he's not great either. He does his best I'll say that.
Chris Pine is really good in this, I loved seeing him portray this somewhat sinister guy, don't get a lot of Pine playing a baddie.
I'd actually recommend seeing this, it makes ya think and it's certainly not boring, but I also won't sit here and say it's a masterpiece. Don't Even Worry About It Mate, Everything's Fine and Normal is like a 6/10? I think?
DON'T EVEN WORRY ABOUT SPOILERS MATE BECAUSE HERE THEY ARE!
Alright so the big twist is that this movie is a big story about what if Jordan Peterson was really good at virtual reality game design.
You may be wondering, who is Jordan Peterson? If you have to ask, you're very lucky! Because you haven't been exposed to the internet debates around modern femininity, masculinity and all the other stuff that honestly is a zero sum 'debate' that makes everyone worse and usually ends up in a bad place that no one wants to go to.
But yeah the whole idea is Harry Styles is a big loser and his girlfriend Florence Pugh is a nice girl working long shifts but she's a bit knackered all the time so doesn't want to do sex and so Harry Styles becomes a big incel.
Chris Pine, luckily for Harry Styles, has invented VR that you can put ya girlfriend in (against her will) and she will become a 1960s style housewife and you will feel like a man with a big willy again.
But then all the dudes have to pay for this, so they all have to go to work every day and leave this VR so they can work at a Maccas or whatever.
Obviously there's a lot of messy nonsense in this that if you think about it destroys the world. Like what does your knocked out girlfriend go poo poo and pee pee? What was that plane that crashed? Like, what was that?!
I think the concept is really interesting to think about, like obviously don't VR ya girlfriend, but it's fun to have media that genuinely says like hmm what's going on with modern masculinity? It's fairly untravelled territory I think, so it was fun to do that and with Harold Styles doing his best as well and bringing in a big audience of 1D fans to cream themselves as he does a fingering to Florence Pugh.
Anyway, don't VR your girlfriend is the message of this movie, I think. What an odd duck of a movie.
Oh and proper don't worry about it, it's all good, nothings going on.
