![]() In the ending flashbacks of Don’t Worry Darling, Jack is revealed to have forced Alice into the Victory Project, but how? It can be assumed that he physically took advantage of her, potentially in her sleep, forcing her into the extensive equipment pictured in the film. Other major plot holes to discuss particularly revolve around the twist ending of the film. If people eat in the simulation that is the Victory Project, do they receive that nourishment in real life? Or is it another job of the men as they leave the simulation each day to feed the bodies of their wives who are still mentally consumed within the simulation? On that note, how does going to the bathroom work? There is certainly no need to go to the bathroom in the simulated world of Victory, but for their bodies in real life, what’s the deal there? Is there a catheter situation or something of the like? ![]() This does suggest that her reality is skewed, but it proposes another plot hole: how does eating and drinking work while in the Victory Project? Are people’s bodies being nourished in the real world or do they actually eat in Victory? The empty egg scene aside, more often than not, the audience sees real food being prepared and eaten in Victory, like the ritualistic shots of coffee and buttered toast that are returned to time and again as Alice and Jack start their days in Victory. ![]() There is, of course, the infamous empty egg scene, where Alice cracks open egg after egg, revealing that there is nothing actually inside any of them. ![]() For example, let’s take the scene where Alice is crushed between the window and the wall or the scene where Alice nearly suffocates herself with Saran wrap - what within these scenes suggests, “Alice, you are in a simulation”? It more so feels that these scenes were put in for the sole purpose of shock value to use in the trailers. What’s really going on there? Many of her hallucinations border lethal and suicidal behaviors and situations, but why? Sure, the hallucinations inform her that something is off, but none of these dark visions particularly lend themselves to specific intel that Victory itself is illegitimate. As much as Don't Worry Darling tries to offer a satisfactory end, there are way too many plot holes and untied loose ends that prevent the film from feeling complete.įirst, we must discuss what takes up the majority of the film: Alice’s hallucinations. When Alice realizes this and Jack once again attempts to force her to stay, Alice kills him and runs from the enforcers of Victory back to her real life, escaping the simulation and re-entering the world as a widow of her own making. One day, Alice begins to realize that not everything is as it seems in this utopia, and, long story short, she comes to learn that Victory is in fact a simulation that Jack forcibly entered her into when their relationship began to go south in the real, 21st-century world. Whether you caught Olivia Wilde's controversial flick in theaters last September or are only just experiencing it now that it is on Netflix (it's also available to stream on Max), here’s a quick plot synopsis: Alice Chambers, played by Florence Pugh, is living a seemingly perfect life in a 1950s-era town called Victory, with her dreamy husband Jack ( Harry Styles), who works a mysterious job.
