Don't Worry Darling treats "worldbuilding" the way a toddler treats a fruit bowl — enthusiastically, briefly, then forgotten.
“Plot holes? We fell in.”

The script for Don't Worry Darling feels like it was entirely written by an algorithm fed nothing but energy-drink commercials.

Hot Take: Don't Worry Darling's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Rewatched Don't Worry Darling last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Don't Worry Darling actually is?
Honestly, Don't Worry Darling would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Don't Worry Darling?
Just got out of Don't Worry Darling and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Don't Worry Darling?
