Kim Kardashian is sharing her two cents on the controversial film “Don’t Worry Darling.” The highly-anticipated movie is set to premiere on September 23.
However, ahead of its big release, the business mogul exclusively watched the psychological thriller film, and she shared her views on the film on her Instagram stories for her 330 million fans.
Although the film is yet to be officially released, it has received quite a large number of responses since its screening.
Kim Kardashian’s Thoughts On ‘Don’t Worry Darling’
Amongst the numerous things the reality star did this past weekend, she caught up with “Don’t Worry Darling” in an exclusive pre-premiere screening.
After having a swell time watching “Don’t Worry Darling ‘, the business mogul couldn’t hold back her thoughts. On her Instagram story, she posted a picture from a scene in the movie where lead star Harry Styles was in a vintage car backing the camera while his co-star Florence Pugh stared lovingly at him.
She captioned the post, “I watched “Don’t Worry Darling “ this weekend. I REALLY liked it! It’s really good!” The SKNN founder proceeded to express her love for Harry and her recent obsession with Pugh.
“Harry was so good in it, and I am now obsessed with @florencepugh. She is beyond an amazing actress, and she’s so pretty too,” she concluded.
Thankfully, the “KUWTK” star did not leave any spoilers or any stars for the movie. “Don’t Worry Darling” was directed by Oliver Wilde and stars Harry Styles, Chris Pine, and Florence Pugh, amongst others.
The film is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures and has a run time of 123 minutes. The synopsis of the movie reads:
“In the 1950s, Alice and Jack live in the idealized community of Victory, an experimental company town that houses the men who work on a top-secret project. While the husbands toil away, the wives get to enjoy the beauty, luxury and debauchery of their seemingly perfect paradise. However, when cracks in her idyllic life begin to appear, exposing flashes of something sinister lurking below the surface, Alice can’t help but question exactly what she’s doing in Victory.”
Although the film is to be released sometime this week, it has received several responses since its first screening at the 79th Venice International Film Festival.
So far, according to Rotten Tomatoes, the movie has received a 36% Tomatometer rating. Several film critics have aired their opinions on the film and also rated it.
Critic Brian Eggert of Deep Focus wrote, “Offering more questions than answers, but not in a way that makes the film more interesting for what it conceals, Don’t Worry Darling is missing something.”
Another critic, Jake Cole of Slant Magazine, commented, “The film 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.”
Siddhant Adlakha of IGN Movies wrote “Pretty designs, inventive music, and capable performances hide an empty cinematic critique. Olivia Wilde’s modern Stepford Wives is too literal and insubstantial to say anything radical with its camera, let alone something mildly challenging.”
How Well Would ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ Do In Box Office?
According to Deadline, the opening weekend prospect of “Don’t Worry Darling” is projected to be in the “high- teen millions.” However, there’s a great possibility of a positive shift for the thriller film.
Per the publication, it would be possible for the film to make a $ 20 million-plus start, which would be nice for a three-day total, considering the movie is without major tent poles.
A strategy for Warner Bros/ New Line’s marketing is reportedly to persistently incite Style’s ardent fans. Word has it that already, several people are driving up to an hour to see an early screening of the film.
Warner Bros Motion Picture Group co-chairs Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy opened up about their hopes for the movie, saying, “We’re thrilled with this early tracking for Don’t Worry Darling and think it’s one of the must-see releases of the fall. Olivia is a truly visionary director who has delivered a completely original film filled with memorable performances from an incredible cast and a provocative story that will appeal to a wide variety of moviegoers. We can’t wait for audiences to see it.”
The ‘Watermelon Sugar’ Singer Shares His Views On Acting
The Blast previously reported that Styles recently shared his thoughts on his acting skills. Although the songwriter has starred in other movies, including Marvel’s “The Eternals,” the 28- year old still thinks he has no idea what he’s doing when it comes to acting.
At the Venice International Film Festival, Styles spoke about how acting feels to him. When asked how it felt to be an actor, the “As It Was” singer described it as fun.
He shared that he thinks acting is an opportunity to see the world differently. Despite the fact that being an actor is confusing sometimes, the singer loves being an actor. “What I like about acting is I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing.” Styles said.
