Don't Worry Darling

While this film explored interesting elements, I found myself wanting more depth and detail in certain areas. Definitely a visually compelling and stylish ride, but one that ultimately felt like a drive around the block instead of an actual intellectual or emotional adventure. Using the pressure of social conformity to build suspense seems tired. The commentary on patriarchal structure and women resisting this came across as heavy-handed and cumbersome. The ending was too abrupt and left much to be desired. Characters were flat, even when the creepy secret was revealed. At the end of the movie, I had so many questions but then ultimately realized I didn't care about the answers - which means ultimately the film fell short in at least two important ways. Watch this for the visual style more than anything, because the vague sense of suspense as well as the underdeveloped characters and storyline are not enough to be a satisfying watch.
