Don’t Worry Harry
I also saw Don’t Worry Darling. I enjoyed it more than most critics. While it’s been described as a modern take on The Stepford Wives, I would more readily compare it to The Matrix. I’m not so sure Olivia Wilde is a great director – although kudos to whomever threw in the homage to Happy Days with a twist on the infamous Malachi Crunch! Wilde gave herself a great role and played it to the hilt. Chris Pine was fine in his few scenes – he finally took his shirt off towards the end, so that’s something. What of Harry Styles (who never took off his shirt)? His character is obsessed with performing cunnilingus – a plot point never fully explained. He’s not bad in the film. That’s not to say he’s good. He’s fine. If he weren’t Harry Styles, I’d have thought a thoroughly capable actor with a good head of hair and no earlobes (it’s almost tragic) was playing the part. No more, no less.
