Don't Worry Darling
4K Ultra HD
Blu Ray
Home Entertainment excels in video and sound, but lacks extras. Don't Worry Darling aims for social impact, but falters with weak script and performances.
Improved resolution and color saturation enhance the visual experience of Don't Worry Darling, shot by Matthew Libatique with the ARRI Alexa LF and Mini LF at 4.5K source resolution and a true 4K digital intermediate.
The implementation of subtle mixing over the platform adds natural depth to the orchestrated elements, creating an excellent sound foundation with Dolby Atmos mix, which supports TrueHD 7.1 for receivers that don't support the newer format.
A dual-disc release of Don't Worry Darling offers Ultra HD Blu-ray and Blu-ray options, a slim selection of extras, and a dual-hubbed keepcase with poster-themed cover art, along with a Digital Copy code.
In a tightly-knit desert utopia, the CEO's societal optimism, combined with his corporate vision and motivational life coaching, dominates daily life. Meanwhile, Olivia Wilde's sophomore movie, Don't Worry Darling, was a modest success amidst production turmoil gossip.
