"Don't Worry Darling" Has A Twist Ending, But These 16 Details Prove It Doesn't Come Out Of Nowhere
Don't Worry Darling finally hit theaters last week, after a whirlwind of drama that included #spitgate, a super-awkward red carpet, and "Miss Flo."
Now that we've all had a chance to finally watch the film, some of us have questions, some of us think Florence Pugh deserves an apology, and some of us (me) are completely floored by the twist ending, which finally explains the hallucinations and turmoil Alice — Florence Pugh's character — experiences throughout the story.
Now, I'm about to reveal a massive spoiler (like, probably the BIGGEST spoiler in the entire plot), so if you haven't seen it yet/don't want to know, STOP SCROLLING AND LEAVE THIS POST IMMEDIATELY.

Okay, here it is: Toward the end of the film, it's revealed that Victory isn't a real town in the 1950s–'60s, but actually a virtual simulation created by Frank (Chris Pine), the town's cult-like leader. Even wilder, the Victory Project isn't a company all the husbands in Victory work for. Rather, it's the simulation initiative they all pay to be a part of. Alice and all the other wives have been unknowingly trapped in Victory by their husbands, and they've had the memories of their real lives in the present day (!!!) erased.
