Florence Pugh and Harry Styles' 'screaming match' movie has just hit Netflix

Don't Worry Darling, Florence Pugh's hotly debated movie, has now landed on Netflix, despite a lukewarm reception evidenced by its score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Florence Pugh transforms into 1950s housewife Alice Chambers in the psychological thriller set in Victory's seemingly utopian company town, where she lives with her husband Jack, played by Harry Styles. Yet beneath their seemingly blissful existence, unsettling signs begin to surface, revealing "exposing flashes of something much more sinister lurking beneath the attractive façade," as stated in the movie's description.

These ominous discoveries propel Alice on a quest to uncover the true intentions behind the mysterious Victory project, with unsettling consequences.

The film, notorious for stirring up headlines, has just debuted on Netflix as of Wednesday, April 2, reports Surrey Live.

Olivia Wilde helms the film from a screenplay penned by Katie Silberman, featuring a cast that includes Chris Pine, Gemma Chan, KiKi Layne, Sydney Chandler and Nick Kroll alongside the leads.

Since its grand unveiling at the Venice Film Festival back in September 2022, Don't Worry Darling has been embroiled in various scandals — from speculations of Harry Styles spitting on co-star Chris Pine to gossip about on-set tension between lead actress Florence Pugh and director Olivia Wilde.

Around its release, there were even stories suggesting a turbulent "screaming match" had taken place during the shoot between the two.

Still, these alleged on-set frictions have been rebutted by crew members, who issued a statement declaring: "Any allegations about unprofessional behaviour on the set of Don't Worry Darling are completely false.

"Olivia is an incredible leader and director who was present with and involved in every aspect of production. She ran this set with class and respect for everyone involved. There was never a screaming match between our director and anyone, let alone a member of our cast."

Don't Worry Darling currently holds a 74% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, in contrast to a 38% critics rating. Some critics have commended the "initially captivating" storyline, but felt it eventually became "hollow" and "disappointing".

"It takes the film a good 90 minutes to reveal where it's all going, by which point viewers have either worked it out for themselves or lost interest, possibly both," noted The Evening Standard.

The Hollywood Reporter described the film as a "high-concept, low-satisfaction psychological thriller," while USA Today added: "[It's a] twisty and visually striking but fairly flat psychological thriller."

Meanwhile, other reviewers have praised Florence for her "knockout" performance, with The Observer writing: "Pugh is phenomenal, throwing everything she has into her role and carrying large chunks of the film more or less single-handedly."
