'Don't Worry Darling' Review: 'Get Out' But For White Women
Essentially 'Get Out' but for white women, 'Don't Worry Darling' has strong material with its twist reveal, but the writing and directing falter trying to execute it.

The film takes place in Thessaloniki, in an Orwellian society where the Party has banned the popular local food, bougatsa, as part of its plan to make Thessaloniki an unremarkable part of the Realm of Athens. During these tough and dark days, a rebellious group, "The Bougatsistas", produces and trades bougatsa illegally to keep the people's spirit awakened and revolutionary. For bougatsa is not just a food... It's Thessaloniki's symbol of freedom... The film was produced by students from the Department of Journalism and Mass Media Communication at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.

Him is visually stunning—all concrete cathedrals and bone-rattling impact shots that look like a nightmare highlight reel. Marlon Wayans is magnetic as this legendary quarterback who's basically selling salvation with a smile that never quite reaches his eyes. But the story keeps running in circles: more tests, more cryptic pep talks, more ritualistic drills. The sports-as-religion metaphor beats you over the head when subtlety would've been more effective. The middle drags, and that finale chooses spectacle over substance. It's undeniably stylish, but left me cold. Also worth noting: despite the Monkeypaw connection, this isn't actually a Jordan Peele film—he didn't write or direct.
The 2019 film, Vai, takes us through eight stories across the islands of Oceania. The settings are unbelievably beautiful, the cast is beautiful, the languages are beautiful, and the stories are beautiful…but heartbreaking.
Have a Good Trip offers a rather balanced look at psychedelic use. While its main narrative is the stories of recreational use by celebrities, it does delve into the medical history of psychedelics and its use in psychotherapy.
A short film that begins with the language of romance but slowly reveals something far more unsettling beneath the surface.
There is a lot of controversy around Q-force. It’s certainly not hard to see why—the series is quite hyperbolic. I will say, that was the first aspect I noticed on my initial watch. Right from the get-go Q-Force barrages you with gay joke after gay joke. This is hit or miss throughout the series.
