| DON’T WORRY DEAR |

The second feature film directed by Olivia Wilde (after “Outlaw”) has a similar setting to the classic “The Wives of Stepford” (1975), with wives leading a comfortable home life in an isolated desert suburb of California.

Nobody talks about the mysterious Vittoria Project, which would mean “changing the world”. But the signs that something is wrong are increasingly evident, with nightmares, blackouts and coincidences marking women’s lives. And when Florence Pugh’s (“Black Widow”) character begins to question everything, it’s not just her marriage to Harry Styles (“Dunkirk”) that is at risk.

The cast also includes Chris Pine (“Wonder Woman”), Gemma Chan (“Eternals”), Nick Kroll (“Our Flag Is Death”), Kiki Layne (“A Prince in New York 2”) and Olivia herself.

He is the great discovery of the film, as he appears transformed into a scene, almost an incarnation of Eike. Carol Castro (“Maldives”) as Luma de Oliveira is another highlight.
