“Don’t Worry Darling” combines stunning visuals and a compelling premise to create an engaging, though at times uneven, psychological thriller. Florence Pugh delivers a powerhouse performance, bringing depth to her increasingly paranoid character. While the film’s pacing suffers from trying to balance its ambitious ideas with its thriller elements, the intriguing plot and aesthetic appeal keep viewers hooked. Criticisms largely focus on the narrative’s execution and the clarity of its message, but the acting and production design receive high praise, making it a visually captivating and thought-provoking watch.”
