Why Don’t Worry Darling Is Rated R

Olivia Wilde’s psychological thriller Don’t Worry Darling was given an R-rating by the MPAA, with the film certainly earning this designation. Don’t Worry Darling and its twist-filled ending offer a different take on familiar stories like The Stepford Wives, as Wilde’s film follows a young wife (Florence Pugh) in the 1950s who begins questioning the nature of the “idyllic” town where she and her husband (Harry Styles) reside. After significant pre-release buzz, Don’t Worry Darling premiered in 2022 to a moderate box office performance and largely negative reviews from critics.
