What Is 'Don't Worry Darling' About?

Don't Worry Darling is a psychological thriller set in a 1950s utopia community.

The gripping movie follows the story of housewife Alice (played by Florence Pugh) who suspects her husband Jack (Harry Styles) is hiding a disturbing secret.

Speaking at CinemaCon, director Olivia Wilde teased that Don't Worry Darling was reminiscent of films such as Inception, The Matrix and The Truman Show.

She added: "It's my love letter to the movies that pushed boundaries of ambition.

"Imagine a life where you could have anything you ever, not just the tangible things....But also the things that really matter: True love with the perfect partner, real trusted friendships. What would it take for you to give up that perfect life? What are you willing to sacrifice to do what's right? Are you willing to dismantle the system that is designed to serve you?"

In a separate interview with Vogue, Wilde described Don't Worry Darling as "The Feminine Mystique on acid," referring to Betty Friedan's groundbreaking book, published in 1963, that challenged the belief that a woman's destiny was to be a housewife and mother.

Don't Worry Darling is directed by Olivia Wilde and the screenplay was written by Katie Silberman, based on a story by Carey and Shane Van Dyke and Silberman.
