Quote: “What’s the opposite of progress? Chaos. Chaos, an ugly word.”- Frank

Fun Facts: Olivia Wilde originally casted herself as Alice and have Florence Pugh play Bunny but she decided to switch roles.

The dinner table scene was supposed to have Bunny, in it, but wanted to focus on directing the scene that she cut herself from the scene.

The triggering song in the movie was written by Harry Styles.

The Disney short ‘The Skeleton Dance’ was played on the TV in the film.

The One Liner Review: Don’t Worry Darling is well acted and has beautiful shots unfortunately, Wilde’s second feature film feels like there needs more story that went along with a incomplete ending.
