UK Quad (30" x 40") Double Sided
UK / British
Near Mint minus / Originally Rolled (as issued)
Olivia Wilde
Albert Brooks, Bryan Cranston, Carey Mulligan, Christina Hendricks, Ron Perlman, Ryan Gosling
Although a relatively recent release any paper for Olivia Wilde’s “Don’t Worry Darling” is extremely scarce. Her much talked retro drama thriller is complemented by an amazing series of cinematic posters designed by the creative marketing agency Bulldog, with this ‘Welcome to Victory’ advance style my personal favourite; very stylish, clever imagery. Although accompanied by an extensive marketing campaign (largely due to the stars involved) the movie is considered “art-house” or “independent” and had a very limited cinema release resulting in the scarcity of the posters. Originally rolled (as issued) this UK quad looks and displays to excellent effect with minimal handling wear; the colours really have depth and tone. A rare, modern collectable item of movie memorabilia from a truly talented director that looks to be gaining that cult status.
Trivia: There are many clear references to Alice in Wonderland; the main character’s name being Alice, the fantasy world which she unwittingly enters into, the prominence of windows/mirrors (Through the Looking Glass), and lastly her neighbour Bunny may be a subtle reference to the iconic White Rabbit.

There are four things to mainly praise about “Don’t Worry Darling“, its cast, its cinematography and music and it’s story.
Florence Pugh is incredible as Alice, the main character, a role that requires very similar acting skills to her breakthrough role in “Midsommar“, she definitely carries the movie on her shoulders. At the same time Harry Styles does a great job as her co-star, it isn’t difficult to understand why some consider him the biggest heartthrob of our times, but it’s also a great step for him as an actor because Jack, Alice’s husband, is a complicated character that requires acting skills that maybe wouldn’t be expected of someone on his second ever acting gig. The rest of the actors are all in their place too, and do an excellent job, but their characters are small, making it a film centered mostly on the main couple.
Matthew Libatique‘s cinematography is gorgeous, the colours and the scenography deliver the utopic 50s town making us want to be there too, as well as the music; speaking of the music there’s a melody that works both as a lullaby and an alert, written by Styles himself, that accompanies us through the movie, despite being a good melody and doing its job working both in a soothing and a disturbing manner it’s sometimes a bit understated, especially when is just hummed by Alice.
The story though goes in crescendo, it starts with a couple living an utopic life in an utopic town and it ends with that image breaking like the mirage it really was. It contains probably the best plot twist of the year.
On the flip side, it turns out obvious that this is Katie Silberman‘s first attempt at a movie that contains social topics that can be difficult to get if you don’t have previous knowledge of them, and it makes you wish for a more in depth explanation of the thing that’s hiding behind the utopia.
Overall it’s a beautiful movie that, despite its seriousness, doesn’t take itself too seriously and should be enjoyable for all those who watch it with an open mind.
