A festival programmer told me it was puzzling that Venice decided to screen the film, maybe they needed the star wattage? Regardless, we have a reaction via Gold Derby: Wilde raised some eyebrows at CinemaCon by comparing her film to “Inception”, “The Matrix” and “The Truman Show.” Talk about raising expectations. The film is said to be a psychological thriller about a 1950s housewife (Florence Pugh) whose reality begins to crack, revealing a disturbing realization that she is being suppressed. The premise itself sounds intriguing and the relevance of its #TimesUp themes will no doubt be zeroed in on upon release. As it stands, “Don’t Worry Darling” is set to only screen at the Venice Film Festival, there will be no Toronto or Telluride screening. The film is set to be released in theaters on September 23rd.
