Olivia Wilde’s newest film, Don’t Worry Darling, had its world premiere at the 2022 Venice Film Festival. We finally have the first reactions from the lucky festival attendees on the ground in Venice! Below are rounded up initial social responses to the newest film starring Florence Pugh, Harry Styles, Kiki Layne, Gemma Chan and Chris Pine.
Florence Pugh is an absolute gift in #DontWorryDarling. The crafts are awe-inspiring, particularly Arianne Phillips’ costume design and Matthew Libatique’s cinematography. Together they are a visual delight. pic.twitter.com/VNOTSoLdRj

#DontWorryDarling features some stellar work from Florence Pugh and cinematographer Matthew Libatique in particular, but ultimately, it's a surface-level thriller that doesn't dig deep enough into its high concept.

I thought #DontWorryDarling was thrilling. It’s too bad there’s so much baggage weighing it down because it’s a really good movie. Florence Pugh is something fierce, Harry Styles is very impressive, and best of all it sticks the landing, and has stuck with me. Olivia Wilde is 2/2

I have seen #DontWorryDarling & I can say #FlorencePugh might be the most watchable person the planet. She & #HarryStyles who is excellent are a force together. I could have sat & lived in that 'utopian bubble' cracks & all for 24 more hrs- stunning @Florence_Pugh @Harry_Styles pic.twitter.com/oP27M6CCYE

#Venezia79 #DontWorryDarling is a hoot. I'm so gonna rewatch this! Even if the point it makes is kinda obvious you fully enjoy the ride,the striking visuals and production design and very nice twist. Styles totally fits in when you get the character. It's the key role. Riveting.

For the record, I still adore Booksmart. And Pugh is off the charts incredible. But the rest of this is a mixed bag. https://t.co/BdZ4uS7vMk

I reviewed #DontWorryDarling. A film about “female pleasure” and “good sex”? Either a profound misunderstanding of fairly obvious material or a cheap lie. Either way, it doesn’t work. (Florence Pugh is, of course, fantastic, and the crafts work is stunning.) https://t.co/vhwlYbRiI3

DON'T WORRY DARLING. Olivia Wilde's twisty turny take on life in suburbia and the oppression of the patriarchy is an overly predictable, soulless thriller with nothing new to say. Pugh rules, Pine steals the show, and Styles is utterly forgettable. Painfully passable. #Venice79 pic.twitter.com/t4r5s9cfYM

'Don't Worry Darling' completely falls apart in its final third and Harry Styles looks totally lost, but Florence Pugh shines https://t.co/mb9RS9DzCW #venice79

My #Venice from #Telluride review of DON’T WORRY DARLING, a movie I found all too simplistic in its feminism and supposed twists, despite stellar work from Florence Pugh (duh) and decent handle on crafts. Wish it worked better; it sadly doesn’t. https://t.co/Io6hmwzpFG

Olivia Wilde’s #DontWorryDarling features a fantastically frenzied performance from Florence Pugh as a woman slowly losing control of her reality. Pugh is TERRIFIC in the seductive psychological thriller that will keep you guessing throughout. Loved the cinematography, too! pic.twitter.com/y55Jk9W8Ec
