ReelViewsJames BerardinelliSep 23, 2022
Although there are a number of problems with the production, the most glaring is the screenplay. The flaws of the final act are so flagrant that nothing short of a rewrite would have solved them. Read full review

Slant MagazineJake ColeSep 16, 2022
Don’t Worry Darling has the swing-for-the-fences ambition that should have at least made it a noble and compelling folly, but its repetitiveness frustratingly undercuts its grandiosity. Read full review

Washington PostAnn HornadaySep 20, 2022
A movie that’s not a disaster, but not particularly distinguished; a movie that, in the end, will wind up being as forgettable as its own bizarre publicity. Read full review

A film is not how it’s made; it’s how it plays. And Don’t Worry Darling plays very poorly. It’s the sort of sustained puzzle of a movie that is very hard to pull off especially for over two hours, and here, Wilde was simply not up to the task. Read full review

Austin ChronicleKimberley JonesSep 21, 2022
A swing and a miss is too timid a dismissal. It’s a sumptuously dressed table that ends in a wet fart. Read full review
