Don't Worry Darling has been mired in scandal. justbrizigs explains and digs into her own worries about the production, press tour, and end product:
screenwriter Katie Silberman. The script’s original writers, the Van Dyke brothers, have previous credits on some Asylum films and; not exactly prestige, awards-buzzy fare. But from the trailers, it’s all too evident thatis going after some heavy-handed social critique on the patriarchy, sexism, American values, suburbia, yadda yadda—topics that have already been done to death in film, and in very good ones at that .
The chronic impenetrability of this question is beguiling, even if the choice to have Wilde helm something like this does make sense. While DWD is a rare mid-budget film at around $20 million, Wilde secured a generous box office take and meaningful critical and audience favor from the success of the very low-budgetback in 2019 . Wilde is both a hot new name in filmmaking and has established herself as being able to generate profit from her work.
As a writer on film and also, coincidentally, a fan of it, I always want films to be good. That’s what anyone should want before they’ve seen one. And many infamously embattled film productions have turned out alright and even much better than that, such as the legendarily fraught. Though, I feel a certain disquiet evoking Francis Ford Coppola’s masterwork in a piece unpacking the scandal of, uh, Olivia Wilde’s. All I’m saying is that, perhaps we should give DWD the benefit of the doubt.
