It is ironic that the actress the director trashed for not being good enough, is the only one getting rave reviews for her performance.

The director, her boyfriend and the writer all were called horrible.

‘Don’t Worry Darling’ Review: Florence Pugh and Harry Styles Can’t Redeem Olivia Wilde’s Stale Reality-Warp Nightmare

Olivia Wilde’s second feature behind the camera, Don’t Worry Darling, will more likely be remembered for the offscreen intrigue — tabloid romance, lead actor replacement, a glaringly public serving of custody papers, a rumored clash between director and star — than it is for much else in this umpteenth Stepford Wives knockoff. That’s not to say it’s without sizeable pluses, chief among them a meaty lead role for the dependably compelling Florence Pugh, who hasn’t played a woman in this much peril since Midsommar. It also scores points for allowing Chris Pine to show what a devilishly charismatic villain he can be.

One of the big draws, of course, is It Boy Harry Styles, whose rabid fans appear to feel such deranged ownership that they’ve scarcely refrained from burning Wilde effigies to decry their off-camera relationship. She’s 10 years his senior! How dare she! Leaving all that nonsense aside — it’s their business, people, relax — Styles carries himself with confidence as eager young company man and loving but increasingly conflicted husband Jack Chambers. – Source
