In his review, Deadline’s Pete Hammond called Wilde’s film a “candy-coated psychological thriller” about “the terror imposed by men controlling women’s bodies.”
It has been Harry Styles-mania on the Lido today with fans camped out in front of the Sala Grande since early in the morning, braving the punishing sun with a sea of umbrellas.
Venice Film Festival: Deadline’s Full Coverage
Earlier in the day, Wilde — who also co-wrote the film and co-stars in it — was joined by Styles, Pine, and Chan to field questions from the media here. But the swirl of controversy involving Shia LaBeouf’s withdrawal from the project and questions over Florence Pugh’s absence from the press conference were largely avoided.
Wilde addressed Pugh’s absence saying, “Florence is a force; we are so grateful she is able to make it tonight [to the premiere] despite being in production.” She refused to engage with speculation that suggested there might be other reasons. “As for all the endless tabloid gossip and noise out there, the internet feeds itself. I don’t feel I need to contribute to it. It’s sufficiently well-nourished.”
Don’t Worry Darling follows Alice (Pugh) and Jack (Styles) who seem lucky to be living in the idealized community of Victory, an experimental company town housing the men who work for the top-secret Victory Project and their families. The 1950s societal optimism espoused by their CEO, Frank (Pine) — equal parts corporate visionary and motivational life coach — anchors every aspect of daily life in the tight-knit desert utopia.

While the husbands spend every day inside the Victory Project Headquarters, working on the “development of progressive materials,” their wives — including Frank’s elegant partner, Shelley (Chan) — get to spend their time enjoying the beauty, luxury, and debauchery of their community. Life is perfect, with every resident’s needs met by the company. All they ask in return is discretion and unquestioning commitment to the Victory cause.
But when cracks in their idyllic life begin to appear, exposing flashes of something much more sinister lurking beneath the attractive façade, Alice finds herself questioning exactly what they’re doing in Victory, and why.
The film opens domestically on September 23.
Marilyn Monroe is one of the most iconic stars of our time, so it’s no surprise that she featured several times in various media. Here we are telling about many actresses who have played the role of a blonde bombshell from the 80s till date.
Most Beloved, Iconic of the 21st Century
Marilyn Monroe is one of the most loved, iconic, and legendary stars of the 21st century. From making her debut in All About Eve to stealing the show in Gentleman Prefer Blondes to a sad, yet mysterious swan song in The Misfits, Marilyn lives on with an indelible glow in our collective consciousness.
From Michelle Williams to now Ana de Armas
Here we break down some of the different actresses who have portrayed the icon, from Susan Griffiths to Michelle Williams to Ab Ana de Armas, and more.
TV movie Merlin: The Untold Story
Tracy Gould is best known for her role in the popular 1980s sitcom Growing Pains, but before she made her mark there, she played a young Norma Jean in the TV movie Merlin: The Untold Story. He was accompanied by actress Katherine Hicks, who played the grown-up role of Marilyn in the 1980 biopic.
Number Madonna’s 1984 Music Video
Marilyn’s perfectly iconic “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” number in the 1953 musical film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes perfectly replicated by Madonna’s 1984 music video “Material Girl”. The video took all of its cues from the original routine, with Madonna turning to the Queen of Pop in a men’s tailored suit through a similarly choreographed dance, in the same pink gown and matching pink gloves. Although Madonna was only paying tribute to the famous actress, she did an epic job in doing so!
