So imagine the scenario. A boozy lunch with with some screenwriters who had just seen "Vivarium" (2019) and began to recall "Stepford Wives" (2004) and the "Truman Show" (1998).

Pretty cool, I wasn't expecting the reveal of what's really going on towards the end. Wish it leaned into the horror / unsettling aspects a bit more.

**By: Louisa Moore / www.ScreenZealots.com** “Don’t Worry Darling” isn’t the massive mess that so many predicted, but it does suffer from a few major problems.
