​​@@christianquinones8081that was one of the main reasons I like her in the first place. I mean when I discover her channel she openly said that Leonardo DiCaprio, Natalie Portman, Tom Hanks and Christopher Nolan are overrated and I was like Thank God! I am not an alien on this planet. Even her audience was not criticizing but rather supporting her with logical things.

[@monalisasweetheart7369]

Im still going to watch it because i notice that iwatch these reviews and then i actually like the movie. I think because we have become so desensitized in our society, we have extreme expectations for movies these days. I think each movie deserves some credit. It does take a lot more than people realize for writers and directors who fully make movies. When they try and make a movie out of the box, it deserves kudos. Reviewers are sometimes wanting more because we have so much great movies these days! Sometimes fun and creepy is enough.

[@mycatsnameiskaren8253]

I loved this movie. I had no idea what to expect and barely knew what it was about. I think the cast was chef's kiss.

[@Harryak-wn1en]

the weird editing is very intentional. it's done that way to create an unsettling tone

[@electricbugaloo1976]

I disagree. I really liked this film. I agree there were a few things that were on the nose and a couple of parts could have been tightened. But I thought it was really good. It was well acted. The tension was good. It was eerie and effective and hard-hitting. I also think the motivations were well done. We do know why Freda wanted to escape. But the film doesn’t hit us over the head. Same with Tatum.

[@DannyKnightblade45]

I agree with you. The performances were great, and the scenes depicting what was done to the Islanders was tastefully done. The movie was very suspenseful and didn't waste time getting going. I thought the movie was great.

[@ernestocaro9802]

Agreed! It’s a good movie, well acted with good pacing.

[@mycatsnameiskaren8253]

I really liked this movie. I had no idea what it was about going into it. I loved the cast. I think Zoe Kravitz did a good job.

[@wuisquil]

Generally the movie is okay for me. As a SA survivor I related to the message of forgetting versus remembering. I think Kravitz did a good job of exploring this topic because she deeply cared about the issue. The ending was weird, I really just wanted to see them get justice, but they made their own kind so I guess I can understand. To forget the trauma is to repeat the trauma, this message can sincerely be eye opening to people who choose to forget.

[@drwsld]

"Art house satire thrillers" says it's all haha it's going to be the new superhero film in the next decade. I'm convinced writing is a weakness right now at mass, that's why there's no romance or comedy movies coming like they used to.

[@Tyler_W]

The abysmal writing quality certainly doesn't help, but the prioritization of the global market over the domestic market over the last 10-15 years hasn't helped either because what lands in one culture doesn't always connect with another.

[@drwsld]

[@ML-ni1tk]

I loved your idea about the red bags being gifts for the men to use again with their wives, girlfriends, or acquaintances. It's the perfect disguise, as the women wont even remember what happened. Zoe is really onto something with this movie.There is a report in France rn of a man who drugged his wife and allowed other men to assault her. She had no memory of the events and only found out when the police arrested him on unrelated charges and searched his phone. Apparently, he had been doing this to his own WIFE for YEARS!

[@mashenka6189]

[@patrickobrien2252]

so glad it’s not just me and my wife. we didn’t say anything about the movie after seeing it. just moved on with our lives. then like 3 hours later i just said “i did *not* like that movie at all” and she just said “yep” lol

[@MeghannMonroe]

Interesting you say they’re weren’t any relationships btw the characters when it was pretty dead on that the survivor girl “knew” the guy was with and she competing with the main character for Channings attention. I totally bought that and then that was turned on its head. The point is that they are toys. To be used and discarded. The main character needed more development but that doesn’t make the movie horrible.

[@M.H.I.A.F.T.]

I'm in great admiration of your ability to hold in your contempt for this film for as long as you did before you laid into it 😂 Love you Maggie. Please never change.

[@PurushaDesa]

I liked _Don't Worry, Darling_ quite a bit actually. The ending didn't bother me either TBH. What did bother me was a bunch of critics acting like gamer bros wanting the mechanics of the world explained to them in fine detail while completely ignoring how disturbing its themes were.

[@HaleyVic17]

I completely disagree with everything you said in this review. I enjoyed this movie a lot and thought it was well acted. Yeah, the plot is not that original but the acting more than makes up for it and I don't think it was half baked at all. All the questions I had throughout were answered in the end.

[@miistercrayon]

I thought it was pretty good. I can’t really explain it but the mystery hooked me enough so I was in it all the way.

[@fosterseth]

I thought this one was good. Lots of nice foreshadowing, and the main twists worked for me. I like that this film spends its time building intrigue and letting the situation unfold in spectacular fashion. I don't mind that the characters lack depth for this type of film. 7/10 for me

[@cobracommander9138]

I'm starting to think Maggie didn't like this movie.

[@HBICTiff]

In a world full of scaredy-cats, Maggie will never falter from calling out a crappy movie.

This is like the 5th comment I’ve seen. Movies are subjective, so obviously people are going to enjoy this movie. Doesn’t mean they’re lying

I thought this was much better than Saltburn for the record

[@AndyBestHP]

Of course, Saltburn is a perfect example of cinematic incoherence. Just as, for example, Imagine Dragons are an empty pastiche of rock, taking influence from the music in the background of Dude Perfect videos, Saltburn is an empty pastiche of an arthouse movie, made by someone raised on Instagram.

[@dajmasta94]

I am sick to death of actors getting their shitty, half baked scripts green lit. The last 10 years or so have been plagued with these completely forgettable movies directed by actors. I’m sure there’s a million better scripts just sitting in a file cabinet somewhere. Studios only have so much money to give out for new projects every year and it’s so lame seeing it go to nepo-baby ego projects like this. How many unknown artists got told no so that they could say yes to this?

[@nana_73]

I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU Although I didn't find the movie awful, I was appalled by the overall message. Those girl boss' moments and the "yess queen" ending were as condescending and childish for me as beyonce's "who run the world? Girls!!" Song. Stepford wives is more feminist than this movie and it was written by a man! Also, I'm on board with you regarding the Channing matter. He's the big bad guy, only he doesn't have a PERSONALITY. What's his motto? In his "I'm sorry" scene, he could've just said "because I wanted to, because I could" idk. I felt him and Frida had no chemistry, I also didn't get their fixation and why she chose to stay with him. There was so much that could've been done.

[@arrietys]

love your honesty

[@ChillTrades91]

This is why I love your channel. Finally someone else who thinks this film is underwritten.

[@brushcl]

Seems like you made your mind up about this one ahead of time. I didn’t love it, but I thought it wasn’t that bad, certainly not as bad as you made it out to be. I mean, compared to Trap, which you liked, it definitely is at least as good, and more believable for sure, which is saying something for a movie involving snake venom as a remedy. Kind of a bummer to see you so vitriolic, it feels like you have an agenda and dislike the filmmaker because of her privilege, not her film.

[@HollywoodERock]

I strangely got that vibe from this review also.

[@CrazypumaX]

yeah I'm ngl, she's doing this thing of hating everything it isn't as opposed to acknowledging what it is and how well it did/didn't accomplish it's aims. the last part of the review was also facetious because she says "don't watch this. watch something better." and proceeds to not state what that better is. just a very mean-spirited review

[@jay1jayf]

nah the third act of this film goes off the rail to the point it is insane. Don't worry darling too, but at least Darling wasn't comic booky girl boss. The best is Infinity pool and it's already an awful film tbh.

[@HollywoodERock]

@@jay1jayf What does “comic booky girl boss” mean? Also what’s wrong with movies having comic booky girl boss flavor? Especially if the film is overall an entertaining experience.

[@jay1jayf]

@@HollywoodERock It just doesn't feel earned in my opinion. But it was hard for me to get through the pretense where they wait for the venom to kick in on the other two girls without at least giving them some advice, when they were hiding their disgust and pretend smiling the movie took me out because it was unreasonable.

[@Jigglypoof]

Jeez. Was hopeful on this one. Saw like 3 other reviews before this one that gave the movie glowing reviews. Not necessarily on the concept, but specifically the execution. Saying this was exceptional, considering this is Zoe's directorial debut. I feel like a lot of people were tempering their expectations based on the fact that it's her first time running the show. But yeah. Maybe even that is being too optimistic. This sounds rough.

[@123rockfan]

I thought the film was exceptionally well paced, with good acting and some nice twists.

Great review, as always, thank you Maggie. This film fits a category I’ve created called bubonic, aka avoid at all costs.

[@famousthaneus9810]

I liked the movie minus the last 5 to 10 minutes, but I can understand your gripes & appreciate your perspective, as always. That bit about Lenny also having his own island with no cell service etc, that certainly adds to the mixed feelings I felt about Zoe and the apology stuff, because I remember her going through internet backlash after The Batman came out because people found comments she had made about an underaged Jaden Smith.

[@officialnicholas1]

I think the biggest problem with this movie is that we don't know anything about the main character other than shes bffs and roomies with the other girl, but even that gets disregarded bc when the roomie asks her to leave she says no stay.... the script never establishes a reason for why Freida or Slater or anyone in this movie other than uninteresting cliches "men hate women" "tech people are demons" "money is the root of all evil" etc. I laughed a few times tho and the outfits were fire.

[@alse93]

man this feminist propaganda is weird is like men are evil lets just be like the evil men to get even, thats what i got from the end and yes zero loyalty to her friend, i was laughing when they saved tatum but let the other dude burn, like yeah let me save the cute one and use it for later i want his money, the woman always gave gold digger vibes, but tbf tatum deserved to die, they couldve just let him die, write a book about it, and make money out of it, but instead she married her friends killer and a rapist

"the editing is concerning bad" 😂 my favorite line

[@friendlypup5650]

This review convinced me to rewatch boogie nights

[@officialnicholas1]

I agree on andrea. Everytime the camera was on her, I wanted it to stay! The tension between the man who had "claimed her" vs her being a kind of gold digger-esque for slater vs her jealousy toward naomi was the only tension on screen that felt palpable. And she had the funniest line in the movie when she said "i did not survive seven seasons of survivor babes just to die on this island"! She was interesting because her internal conflict was actually available to the audience

[@renatoarauz7784]

this movie was all style with not much substance.

[@cristal_spark]

I liked the movie. I did not see the other movies you mentioned but may look a them. I am sorry it was disappointing for you, as you had higher expectations. I liked how the main protagonist got a happy ending in the end, and she thought thru how to "get revange" or justice, "get even". In my non-critic opinion it was a good movie.

[@johnsailorsgoat]

"Having a mood board is a little different from making an actual film..." Lol

[@TyMarie92]

I don’t get where all this hate for the movie came from. It was really well put together in multiple ways and it was also entertaining. This comes across like you have a personal issue with Zoe Kravitz or nepotism-babies in general which I don’t really get in this case.

[@TyMarie92]

@wendellwhispers I definitely will 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@JP-re9xj]

I liked "Don't Worry Darling" more than most, and I actually liked "Blink Twice" more than that. It's like Rian Johnson's "Glass Onion" taken to the satirical degree of "The Menu". I was also very put off by the editing, but once I got in sync with the intent, it became more of a different flavor than outright "bad". Btw worth mentioning: "Dream Scenario" handled the man's apology in a way that satirizes what Zoe Kravitz seems to be going for. I would love to see a comparison of these two "I'm sorry" scenes as a way to tackle the nature of forgiveness.

[@PhoenixBlacc]

[@cbielgib71]

[@hiverhythm]

Nepotism is fine, great even if it gets you a talented person for the job. You can find talented people through nepotism too, the nepotism doesn't cancel out the good qualities a person has. Nepotism can be bad but if you're using it to find an awesome person with a unique perspective (in the case of movies), I think it's fine. With typical labor, if the person is good at their job, that's fine too.

[@PhilipMarcYT]

Nepotism means you have the easy way in, so no need to actually be talented or skilled.

[@hiverhythm]

You can find skilled workers or the perfect person for the job through nepotism, it's not mutually exclusive to merit based assessment. Nepotism is not inherently a bad thing is what I'm trying to say, though I'm sure it often is as we can see with this movie.

[@EmNovel]

I a huge fan of movies & actually really loved it. I had not seen a movie that interesting in a while ; Could there have been more context / personality to the main characters, yes, at times. Were there any visual choices I would've made differently? Definitely, but everyone would make different choices filming a specific story. To say it was a ridiculous movie made by a talentless nepo baby is bonkers to me. It conveyed perfectly the message ; the entire movie is about power, and if you're not willing to watch this movie on the psychological level, than you probably won't like it. I found the lack of personality of some characters actually refreshing. To me, it help representing them more as social concepts. Channing was that ultra rich and pretty boy with childhood traumas. She was a struggling middle-class woman romanticizing luxury and fame, that didn't know exactly where she was heading in life. With that in mind, I think the ending was great because it pushed the power related issues as a final statement, which was the intention (it was literally in the warning at the beginning of the movie ; it is about power) ; When you gain power, do you chose to try to change things? Are your changes for the better? Do you chose to lean in the already established organization? Or do you try to benefit from it? Not everyone will love this movie, but as mentioned, I think calling it a stupid, poorly depicted story with little to no substance is insane. All the ''missing information'' people would've liked actually helped to conceptualize deeply rooted problems in the rich, traumatized & behavioral aspects of the world.

[@RCMPoui]

Spot on review! My wife and I cannot believe how bad this movie was.This was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen a lot of bad movies. Everything about Blink Twice was superficial at best. To have a story about a “regular girl“ who’s obsessed with a super rich and famous tech billionaire. Then, with the accompaniment of her “regular” friend throws caution into the wind and ends up on an island. As days go by, continues to ignore all signs of terror. A freak incident occurs that eventually makes the main character wake up so to speak. The girls fight back and then the main character becomes the head of the company of said rapist tech billionaire while still being in a relationship with him…. WTF!?!? With an ending like that, all of the women fight back/girl power aspects of the film or destroyed. It seems like this movie was written by a rich stoned teenager. It was shockingly bad.

[@sillygoose6253]

I'm trying not to overrhink this one, flip my brain onto plebe mode and say it was simply entertaining, a simple one and done, nice popcorn flick to go through the motions of getting out of the house, and nothing more. Funny though how she points out the setting seemed taken right out of the director's own life. Reminds me of that movie Storytelling where the film is broken up between the fiction and non-fiction, and in the fiction section the creative writing students shamelessly indulge telling about their own life experiences. Anyhow, hope a Strange Darling review is coming soon.

I know a good amount of people who don't ask for much else than it when watching a movie. Not enough for me. This movie is bland food for streaming service. It will be seen for an audience checking their X/Instagram feed while the reproduction goes on. I wish Zoe Kravitz would go for roles like the one she did for High Fidelity show. That was a good one for her

I believe the reviews of this movie would have been higher had the trailer not given away 90% of the plot

Another Strange Darling request! Deserves to be seen in a theater.

3:30 hahahahaha, talk about a twist. Enjoyed this review more than the movie, and I genuinely liked the movie.

not a good movie. social commentary for rich and handsome people.

While both _Blink Twice_ and _Strange Darling_ are shot beautifully (I saw both as a double feature 2 weekends ago on the basis of their _seemingly_ similar broad gender themes), SD is clearly the far superior film IMO. While its plot is deceptively simple, the strategic nonlinear arrangement of its 6 chapters is both a clever story device and a masterclass on deceptive framing. And the final scene? OMG. Just it by itself is worth the price of admission. BT, like with _Longlegs_, comes off as the director being too impressed with their own technical abilities and forgetting to craft a coherent story.

Just because you say something with conviction it doesn't make it correct. There was way too much anger and hate behind this review and when I hear a hater doing they job I completely tune them out. The movie could be garbage but your delivery just made me want to watch the movie even more.
