DON'T WORRY DARLING (2022) Ending Explained 

I think one of the scariest things is that in the original script. Alice didn't even know Jack. He saw her at the hospital and picked her as his chosen wife.

This is probably one of those movies that should have been a NetFlix series instead of a 2 hour movie. This movie would have benifted from having more time to flesh out the characters and not felt so rushed to wrap things up at the end.

The hardest thing to believe is he would actually go down on her well enough for her to be willing to trash her kitchen like that.

Small question: Wouldn't any hospital raise an alarm if one of their surgeons didn't come in and just up and stopped coming into work or at least call the police do to a wellness check? Wonder how they got away with that little detail.

I'll be honest: if it wasn't for Florence Pugh, I wouldn't have any interest in this one at all.

The scariest part of the the simulation is the term “chosen wife” and that they mention Jack had a previous relationship with his, the implication that some of these men have women trapped and unconscious who didn’t want them in the real world. Kidnapping incels? Scary stuff.

Honestly it just wasn’t “there” for me like I wanted it to be. I ignored the controversy when watching it but I struggled to connect with it as much as I really wanted to. I felt like it could have been so much better personally. Florence Pugh carried it on her back. I wish they’d have gave her more to do than look confused

I love Florence Pugh! She is such a fantastic actor and I love the way she just simply exists on screen. The movie was ok but it felt like more of a black mirror episode…

I just saw it for the first time. It’s not a bad movie, not by any stretch of the imagination. But when you break it down, there’s really nothing special about it. This movie is an excellent example of style over substance. You can have the best DP, the best costume designers, and the best actors in the business. But that means nothing if you don’t have a strong story to balance all that out. It felt like Wilde was trying to create her own modernized take on “The Stepford Wives”, but neither her, nor anyone involved stopped to think about what it was that made that movie so great.

When he couldn't make mashed potatoes right, I knew then he was the villain. Legit, no super secret smart person would make mashed potatoes that way

This has a strong first half but honestly has an underwhelming ending

i would love a second movie where alice finds the wives in real life and how the game falls apart once frank is dead would be cool to actually get the details, hopefully flo would work with olivia again

All the sexual scenes in the film put me off it but part where it shows what their life was like before the simulation. It made sense in a way, as the virtual world was Harrys characters dream world where he could get what he wanted from Florences character all the time, were in the real world she was too tired from the job she loved and would brush him off nicely.

I think this concept would haver been way more successful as a limited series. To dive a little deeper into each of the topics introduced later in the movie, and give backstory into the characters to make the audience give a shit about the choices & reveals.

Loved the vibe of this movie, it was truly mesmerizing and anxiety inducing but there were so many plot points that fell flat. I wanted to know more about the plane, Victory Project 2, Margaret’s and Bunny’s backstory, and why Shelly killed Frank.

Did they ever explain Peg being pregnant? Was the real-world Peg pregnant? If yes, do they just throw out the real-world baby and give the mother a SIM baby in Victory? And do they just simulate giving birth for the woman? It seemed like they had some interesting ideas but went about them pretty half-assed (like Shelly killing Frank).

Thank God you made this. I didn't wanna have to watch the actual movie ngl. I just wanted to know why there was some controversy around it.

I would argue the dinner table scene in the best in the film. Florence gives such a chilling performance and the tension is high throughout. Loved her delivery and tone, she acknowledges all the bs and is aware of how ridiculous it all is.

The whole "die in the simulation, die for real" thing is the most confusing aspect of this. Why is that even a feature? Wouldn't it make more sense for death NOT to be a factor in an idealized fantasy prison? Make it LITERALLY impossible for the women to escape, even via suicide? Or, y'know, murder their husbands? That feels like a pretty big oversight.

I didn't think that he had to pay Frank to be there I think he had to go back to the real world to work like a basic nine to five job to keep their apartment and to take care of/store her body there. So that they could continue to "live" in Victory. And that's what he hated so much. Hence all of the locks on their door. I think he was just paying for them to have a storage place for their bodies while they spent the rest of their time in the VR.

I didn’t want to watch the movie cause the mixed reviews and I’ve been waiting for it to cover this!!!! You’re my only reliable film critic

I learned in Amanda the Jedi's video about this movie that the original script seemed to be much more of a solid vision in exploring these ideas but it was edited and changed so much that the final form fell apart. Sad because there was so much potential but I agree. In the original Frank's character was an asshole the whole time and a villain but they seemed to afraid to make Harry Styles a shitbag and actually explore the concept full on. Plus the marketing on this one was so strange? I don't get it

This wasn’t Harry Styles’s acting debut, that was Dunkirk (2017)!

The part about him dying in Victory equating to him dying in the real world is an interesting bit. I didn't even catch that plot hole when I watched the movie myself. However, I think the concept of dying in the simulation which causes you to die in the real world, in this movie reminds me of what happened in the first season of Sword Art Online. Essentially, the use of nerve gear (think really fancy and advanced VR headset) allowed them to fully dive into the games and move around seamlessly (like in this movie). However, they end up trapped in the game and if you died in the game you died irl. This was possible because (and don't quote me on this it's been a while since I've watched SAO) the nerve gear was able to connect to their nervous system as it put them in a temporary paralysis to keep their in-game movements from happening outside which could cause injury. So when they died in the game the gear essentially fried their brain resulting in their death in the real world. So long story short, I wonder if that's what they were playing at here but because we were rounding up to the end of the movie they just sort of glossed over how their death in Victory would translate into the real world. But using this logic, you don't have to replicate what killed them in the simulaiton. So even though the dude gets stabbed in the simulation, his physical wounds don't necessarily have to mimic that. He's just dead.

I didn’t like this movie.. but Florence has always been one of my favorite actors. She’s purely talented. Even a film itself is garbage, her performance will *always* be great.

Reminded me of my first duty station in the U.S. Army. 21 years old with a new wife of the same age. Strange seemily idilic small town where the wives were expected to make friends with the other wives and wait dutifully for the husbands to return home. And of course despite all of the accommodations that were provided it was a difficult transition for many starting families

I agree that this is one movie where it seems the message and themes got in the way of the storytelling and logical world building Still, I always love a stepford wives type of twist, so this movie was still solid in my book

So much about this film was badly planned. The eggs aren't real, they're empty. But she makes him eggs every single morning. HOW DOES SHE MAKE HIM EGGS IF THE EGGS ARE EMPTY??

The Stepford Wives meets The Twilight Zone. And a little bit of that reboot of Fantasy Island.

Funny story when I saw this movie: My sister and I saw it, we didn't like it because of how needlessly complicated it was executed even though the twist was hella predictable. Right as the movie ended, a woman who sat a few seats to our left looks right at us (theater was mostly empty and we were in the same row) and blurts out "That was utter bullshit, I want my money back" She was the best part of the movie tbh

The best thing about this movie was honestly the music. The women vocalizing with the drums was pretty cool

I feel like they were trying to make this movie like Stepford Wives meets the Black Mirror episode "U.S.S. Callister". there were so many plotholes in it and things they skipped right over that had no explanation that didn't give it the satisfying ending I was hoping for.

16:28, you skipped over the creepy part where she sinks back into the water when Jack leaves and one of her reflections is still in the mirror! Maybe telling the audience that something in this “matrix” is going wrong?

I think the whole “If you die in the simulation, you die for real” thing is the same as if you die in The Matrix. The machine didn’t cause the wounds but the brain is dead

I came here to find one of your videos I haven't watched and this was the first thing on my subscriptions today. ❤️

I loved this movie. I don't care what anyone says. Yes, I agree with all the inconsistencies, like, why didn't they come back to the eggs? That was a cool scene. But! I feel like I picked up what was being put down. It was a beautiful rough draft and I saw its intent and potential. I think it's a great film. ❤

Did anyone notice that when she sunk in the tub her reflection remained there, it freaked me out lol 😆

“Make yourself some chicky nuggies” 😂😂😂 this man is so funny 😂😂😂

Feel like I was the only person who really enjoyed this one 😭😭 like, yeah, Harry was stiff but Florence, Chris Pine, the style and story was great to me

I took the ending with franks wife killing him as if she was in on it and running things along side him on the outside but inside she let him be the face but he screwed things up which is why she killed him lol

Can we all agree that the film's poster (where it just says "welcome to victory" with the plane falling from the sky) looks incredible, mesmerizing and eerie in the best way? 😋

Keep up producing these amazing videos man!!!

Thank god ! I wash praying youd cover this! ❤ found flix, saving us time & money forever. Thanks FF 🙌

Love how foundflix channel introduce me to lots of horror movies

I never heard of the controversies. Just saw this on Netflix last night and i liked it!

The wife is the creator it’s like hand maids tale 😂 the wife is probably the super genius who created this world to get away from reality and just let him run it. I think that’s why she was so mad at Alice at dinner because the disrespect is really towards her not her husband. That makes the most sense to me at least 🤷🏾‍♀️

The original writer for this film is Shane Van Dyke, grandson of Dick Van Dyke who has written Asylum films like Paranormal Entity, Transmorphers 2 and Titanic 2, along with Hollywood horror films like Chernobyl Diaries and The Silence...just thought that would be fun to know

I _love_ Florence Pugh as an actress.

I came here 2 days ago looking for this review. Its 4:20am right now and I am PUMPED to see it was the very first video RU-vid recommended.

i thought bunny had said specifically that the “men” who die in here die in the real world. she didn’t say everyone or the women too. i was confused with that.

Yaaaaas. Quality content on a Thursday night.

I CAN RELATE TO FEELING TRAPPED, BUT I CAN'T RELATE TO LIKING IT. This movie left me with the message that happiness is better than freedom even though they weren't going for that lesson. Make me emotionally connected to Florence. Give me a close-up sigh while she's cleaning and a smile during surgery. Don't make her wonder whether she wants to leave. Show me that he basically kidnapped her with extra steps. Show me there's some type of injustice here.

I started watching this on HBO Max and I really couldn’t finish it so I’m glad you did this

Ending Explained = Recap the whole movie

Ah, that perfect balance of being interested in a premise, but really couldn't pay attention to the movie. That's the found flix sweet spot.

I like that frank used the word Hysteria specifically. It was often used against women to belittle them, silence, them, humiliate them, and ultimately not believe them for a very long time whenever women didn't act the way they were supposed to.

wasn’t Harry Styles’ acting debut Dunkirk? I don’t count Eternals because it’s a cameo, but I’m pretty Dunkirk is where Harry first acted

Off topic but I was thinking it would be so cool to have a hotel resort with different time period themes that fully immerses you into that time with restaurants, clothing and technology being the same like what they did in the simulation. I want to experience the 50s or the 70s.

Soooooo glad u covered this!!! Been wanting to see it

Real questions are: Why is a surgeon working 30 hours stay married to someone like that? Who was driving the airplane? What about bathroom uses in the real world?

THANK YOUUUUU I WAS WAITING FOR THIS HOPEFULLY YOU DO “THE MENU”

what i love about foundFlix is that movies i know im not gonna watch i have a feeling this dude will cover it and save me an hour or two on watching something im not sure im even gonna like lol

21:30 What in the story has shown her being “made to forget/remember” anything? What’s with the sudden line of questions? Also, they’ve been in Victory for who knows how long and she never asked where any of them met their husbands, had their weddings, or anything like that?

I don't have the correct words to describe this -- the way this movie flows, reminded me of Wilde's performance as Quorra in Tron:Legacy (2010). As though Wilde's time as director for this project, is informed by her experiences surrounding that role of Quorra.

Honestly, this movie had the potential to be really amazing, like someone said, probably would've made good for TV series rather than a movie. There were just little touches and nuances I wished they touched on more. Like Margaret's son being 'taken away to punish her', like I want to know why she flew off the handle and ran off with her kid. Yes, I know they said it's because she saw something in the desert, but why did she go with her son? I hate it's just brushed aside and we don't hear or see Margaret again after the party scene--she and her entire story is just swept off as some ominous and literal housewives tale. The other wives too, like Peg who starts to question exactly WHAT their husbands do at work and what that rumbling is about, why are the children treated like stowaways? It's little nuances and incidences like that that are just swept aside and never really explained.

I feel like I’m the ONLY person who really liked this movie, it was so good to me.

*This one felt like a watered down of something already great.*

There’s an action adventure movie that I love called “the island “ featuring scarlet johannsen and ream mcgregor directed by Michael bay and I feel has really similar themes to this film. Just wanted to give y’all a recommendation in case you’re looking

FoundFlix you HAVE to do Smile next! I watched it the other day and was blown away by how good it was!

Just like Harry Styles said, this movie… is like a movie.

I called the ending like 20 minutes in. I literally said “what if it’s like a matrix thing.” I said it JOKINGLY and I was disappointed to be right.

Yay! I’ve been editing on a review from you on this!

The movie’s biggest problem is that every idea that it has, has been done before and done better in other films. Mainly in the The Stepford Wives

This would’ve been a great episode of Black Mirror. But as it being a Hollywood movie it fell flat. I think this movie had too big of a budget than what it deserved and that messed with the writing and directing. The car chase scenes were silly, the plane crash was left unexplained, the characters didn’t have much development and it was hard to feel a connection with them. A great thriller makes the audience feel uncomfortable but intrigued, the lines of discomfort could’ve been pushed so much more to make this film better. Focus more on deep hypnosis and the reality of women and children being put in here against their will.

What I needed today. Thank you

I saw it last night and I was hoping that when I typed in ending, explained that it would be you and I’m so happy you did this movie! Because the ending was kind of confusing to me lol and you always do a great job explaining everything

i was waiting on this one!!!

there was alot of potential here they just needed to flesh out the story more

Been waiting for this one. Especially with all the drama surrounding it

Happy Holidays, Foundflix!

I remember seeing the trailer and I couldn’t understand why people thought it looked so good so I’m not surprised it didn’t do too good especially after the controversy

I just finished watching it and it kinda of made me sad, they seemed like they really loved each other. But I know it was very selfish for him to choose that life for her without consenting…

I was waiting for your video on this

been waiting for this!!

Saw this the other day. Way more drama BTS than the actual movie. But the movie wasn't that bad

The knife wound thing, I would assume would follow the logic a lot of other similar stories have. The brain thinks its real so the body reacts like it is. so the shock of death to the brain in the simulation would cause the brain in the real world to receive the same shock and shut down. Something like that.

mustve read my mind i seen this today on tic tok n was like i need this explained 💯👏🏾👏🏾

I WAS WAITING FOR YOU TO DO THIS MOVIE AFTER IT LEFT ME DUMBFOUNDED. THANK YOU!

this movie feels like a movie

I was desperate for this movie to be great! I wanted it to be good! I loved all the actors, especially Florence, and was so excited to see this, because how can a movie that looks (production design wise) SO GOOD, be this bad? What the hell happened??? I also heard a rumor that Wilde would seek off with Harry, leaving Florence as a ghost director in her stead. Idk if that’s true, just a rumor.

I enjoyed this one surprisingly (: watched it last night so cool you made a video

I had so so many high hopes for this but it was so bad and I couldn’t take it seriously when it comes out that they’re broke despite her being a surgeon. I work in the OR and just no.

I actually enjoyed This I think people that don’t like it are the ones that went into it with high expectations I didn’t have any so I was satisfied with it 🙏🏾

Wasn’t Styles acting debut in Dunkirk?

I would love if you ever did a breakdown on the movie Dead End (2010) always been a fav of mine. And I would to hear your thoughts and everything on the movie and especially the ending. I love your vids, long time viewer ❤️

Yeah, when Olivia Wilde said 'Frank' was supposed to be Jordan Peterson IRL - that just made me not even bother with the movie.

I actually enjoyed it. Yes, it’s very Stepford Wives, but I liked the updated twist to the theme.

This is like the movie Get Out. I figured it was a simulation because there was too much diversity for it to be the 50s. It needed more like more context and a better male lead. Pugh did good, and I loved seeing the modern "real" life they lived compared to the Victory Project's world. It the ending needed more substance too but overall was it was a good movie.

I just watched the menu and you MUST cover it!!! I cannot recommend it enough

Every once in a while with one of these I will turn off the video and watch the movie but for someone who is attention span who has gotten shorter throughout the years I just wanna give a shout out to this channel for saving me a lot of time…. I like watching it in the CliffsNotes format sometimes, what can I say 2022 is a weird time
