did it work for you where you engage with the performances were you disappointed by the film and
the reveal let's have those conversations in the common section so let's just jump right into my
spoiler-free thoughts here and I want to start off with Olivia Wilde she's becoming for me at least a
must-see go-to director from 2019's book smart which I was a fan of and seeing the leap from
that film into this film it's a pretty huge leap from a narrative perspective a scope perspective
of the film and I thought for the most part she did such a good job of bringing the pieces to
this puzzle together in the way she managed to keep the mystery going throughout the film and
creating the 1950s everything is perfect elements from this small town of Victory as well as the
tension that she builds within the first two acts I thought again Olivia Wilde 2019's book smart
comedy Coming of Age Now jump into a psychological Thriller what is she going to do next a horror or
a comedy or a drama whatever it is I'm gonna be there for because I think she's a really solid
director now pivoting over and not brushing over the production elements of this film because I
thought they were fantastic the set designs and recreating that era to the clothes the hair the
makeup the music and the score was well woven into the film The cinematography complimented
the emotions that they're trying to evoke on you on the production top notch in my opinion
now switching over to the performances and I don't know why I'm surprised at this point because when
it comes to Florence Pew she continues to show me why she's one of the hottest and most sought out
actors in Hollywood right now because she has to shoulder this film and she delivers y'all she does
not disappoint Florence Pugh is the centerpiece of this film and you got to be on board with this
character because you're following the character for 95 of the film and the film wants you to kind
of not be on her side at points there's twists and turns is she sane is she losing her mind
is it real is it fake and I thought Forest Pugh just gave us a range of emotions and it is just
beyond impressive she is just such an incredible actress and she literally carries this film and
she does such a great job at doing so but I don't want to neglect The Supporting Cast I thought all
the other actors were fine in the roles I think of Gemma Chan she did a good job she's not ending
a lot but I liked her performance Nick Kroll Kiki Lane and all of them overall did a good job let's
talk about Harry Styles because I know a lot of people are going to see this film because of him
and you know I know he has a big fan base but I want to say we've only got a small sample of
Harry Styles I'll just speak for myself you know small role and internal small role in Dunkirk and
this is like the biggest size that I've seen him as far as his roles go and I thought he was fine I
I bought the chemistry I bought the relationship his solo moments were okay I I do wish he had
a little bit more oomph and a little bit more depth in his emotional scenes but for a general
performance Harry Styles was fine he wasn't as bad as some people would make it out to be but
he wasn't as great as his counterpart in Florence Pew but overall I was impressed by what he was
given now the most impressive element from The Supporting Cast easily is Chris Pine Chris Pine
praised the character by the name of Frank who's almost like this god-like figure within a town
the men look up to him he's the boss at work the women are listening to him while they're at work
because he has like a radio station station and I've had my fair share of Chris Pine experiences
when it comes to movies and normally he's the hero he's the charmer he's the handsome guy of
the film and I've seen Horrible Bosses too and he was kind of the villain in that movie but you
know it's a comedy at the end of the day but this film he him being the villain of the bad guy he
needs to do it more often because he is devishly good in this film and I was just eating up all
the scenes he had he wasn't in it enough I will say that I wish he was in the film a little bit
more especially with him influenced Pew I wanted more season of them but Chris Pine as a package as
The Supporting Cast he led the Supporting Cast he was fantastic so all those elements stood out to
me and I also want to bring up the overarching themes of chasing Perfection or forcing your
ideals on someone was kind of really well woven into the story for me and when it comes to the
psychological thrilling elements and this sense of paranoia that stuff was good and if I were
to compare this to any of the films I've seen in the past it's kind of Stafford wives meets Wanda
Vision also means get out so it has some of those isms in the film that I really enjoy but we gotta
transition over to my criticisms and unfortunately a director and a great performance can only go as
far as a story and for me the story is easily the weakest component of this film and I felt
the story was very service level especially when it comes to tackling the various themes the film
presents especially when it comes to the whole idea of the film focusing on the stereotypical
man goes to work the woman stays home Cooks clean takes care of the kids all that stuff to me was
just so service level in the film and it never really Dove deep into the conversation it really
didn't give us much to offer it didn't expand upon anything I didn't really say much in that
narrative and when it comes to the main reveal which we'll talk about here in a second it felt
very familiar the film has a lot of familiar beats it's not as original as I hoped it was going to be
basically on the trailer and all the stuff I saw months ago so praise Olivia Wilde's Direction a
little bit earlier but I did feel so in some cases in this film she chose to go with the style over
substance conversation for example there are many moments in the film where we get like these random
vignettes of black and white and these kind of horrific nightmarish elements and I wish the
film would have focused Less on that and focus more on the character development focus more on
the relationship so I do wish Olivia would have gave us a little bit more substance instead of
her style when you see the film you know what I'm referring to but last little point I want to make
here as far as my criticism the film never felt boring and never feels dull at any point but I do
feel like the build up to the twist was lacking I felt like it needed more explanation I needed more
time and the scenes to understand the full scope of the situation and without spoiling thing I
was just saying to myself wait how does this work how long has this been going on so again I don't
give too much away but for me the major reveal the buildup was there when you see the reveal I'm like
oh man that's that's not as good as it lead it up to be but I digress so those are my Pros those are
my cons before I give you all my overall thought and give you my score if you haven't already make
sure to like the video share the video comment your thoughts in the comment section subscribe
to the channel if you haven't already overall while the film does a good job of keeping on
the edge of your seat for the most part of its run time and gives you a good sense of paranoia
and the psychological elements as well as a home run performance by Chris Prine and Florence Pugh
I ultimately felt that the film was a little bit empty and a little bit underwhelming and I felt
like I wanted more especially from that twist so overall I'm gonna give don't worry darling a
three out of five and based on everything I said I would say give it a watch and when you do let
me know your Pros your cons your thoughts on the performances of story again that revealed did you
