Noah Berlatsky: Olivia Wilde’s “Don’t Worry, Darling” inverts, leaning into its own imagination and returning only reluctantly, and late, to the bland demands of commercial reality. - NBCNewsTHINK
is — on its immaculately, obsessively polished surface — a film about the danger of dreams. But the movie is also a kind of mirror image of itself. If you look closely, it inverts, leaning into its own imagination and returning only reluctantly, and late, to the bland demands of commercial reality.
Even if you have somehow avoided all publicity for the film, the pop culture reference points should already be clear. Screenwriter Katie Silberman is riffing onThe Stepford Wives” and a cornucopia of Philip K. Dick adaptations and rip-offs, from “Total Recall” to “The Truman Show”Victory, the town, is a reactionary fantasy of female domesticity and male careerism.
Rather than a Hollywood race-through plot, this feels more like an elegantly claustrophobic art movie, suspended in its own obsessions.
