“Don’t Worry Darling” Directed by Olivia Wilde, is a psychological thriller movie that revolves around a young and happy couple from the 1950s – Alice and Jack Chambers. The former is a housewife living with her husband in a utopian experimental community created by the same company he works for.
As time passes, Alice becomes curious about Jack’s work on the secret Victory Project, which drives her to the edge. Their seemingly perfect lives soon begin to show signs of fragility as her determination to explore the project gives way to high levels of tension in the community.
Starring Harry Styles, Florence Pugh, Olivia Wilde, Chris Pine, and Nick Kroll, the film’s dramatic and intense story is supported by strong performances from a talented cast. In addition, the background of the utopian community against the backdrop of the 1950s makes one wonder where the movie Don’t Worry Darling was filmed.
