Olivia Wilde is pretty good at two things: bringing out her perfect cheekbones and digging the grave of her second feature film herself. do not worry my love The incredibly delicious, chaotic behind-the-scenes drama is better known than the horrific movie it came out with. Unfortunately, her manager takes a lot of the blame for that delicious, reputation-killing gossip – and she just won’t stop making it worse.
in a new way deer Magazine featurePublished nearly two months after the film’s disastrous premiere at the Venice Film Festival, Wilde talks about the climax of The Bachelor’s Degree about the film. This time, she’s dealing with criticism, of which there was a lot. (do not worry my love Sitting in a cool place 38% “corrupt” on Rotten Tomatoes.) The culprit in much of the film’s poor reception? Everyone focus on the sex scenes.
“I was interested in recognizing the female pleasure that does not come from penetration,” she says first, by explaining why the only sex we see is oral sex, performed by a man (Harry Styles) on a woman (Florence Beau). She goes on to complete her new boyfriend, Styles movie policeman to have sex properly; As an eccentric movie, it is inherently better at showing real-world fun.
This is well and good. I am a huge fan of female pleasure. Where Wilde derails is in her following comments, shown here in full:
“It’s interesting, because Florence [Pugh] He very wisely pointed out that a lot of attention was paid to the sex scenes. I think she is right. I totally agree with her that she overshadowed everything else the movie is about, which is ironic because one of Victory’s sex uses is as a distraction. When Florence pointed out that this movie is so much bigger and better than just the sex scenes, I was so happy that she said it because I feel the same way.”
The only logical response to that is: Wait, what? The person he talks about a lot about do not worry my loveNon-sexual sex scenes were definitely Wilde herself, in several interviews prior to the premiere. Back in December 2021, when all we had was somewhat convincing 11 second teaser to go away, Wilde said Vogue magazine that her mission was for moviegoers to “recognize how rare they see hunger among females, and specifically this kind of female pleasure”.
then in in August 2022 diverse an interviewWilde explained that the sex scenes are “an integral part of the story itself”. “It’s all about the immediacy and intense affection for each other,” she said of the film’s main characters. And then there was Associated Press interview In September, she suggested she wanted more of the oral sex scene featured in the film’s provocative humor — but was shut down due to the studio’s “puritanical” practices.
Wilde was the only person in the movie who talked about his gender in these ways — or, really, at all. Except for Florence “Miss Flo” Pugh, that’s as the director notes. But all Boog said do not worry my loveThe sex scenes were such that it wasn’t worth discussing. “When [a film is] Reduced to your sex scenes, or to watching the most famous man in the world go down on someone, that’s not why we do it. That’s not why I’m in this industry,” I told Harper’s Bazaar In August, a cover story was released just two weeks ago diverse She published her interview with Wilde.
Cast and crew do not worry my loveIt was “bigger and better than” the conversation about how exciting or lacking the movie was, Pugh said. Excerpted from: Wilde leaned toward the idea that the movie was impressive…but in a feminist way. or something.
The absolute paradox that Wilde is referring to deer It’s not about how the interest in the film’s portrayal of sexuality is incompatible with the film’s sexual function. The irony is that it is Wilde herself who won’t stop talking about sex and how uniquely female she is. For Wilde to point – correctly! – until, in do not worry my love, Men descend upon women as a means to manipulate them into ignorant submission, for it has no right to turn the bird on the masses and critics. She is actually looking in the mirror and telling herself to get angry.
It’s comical, really, how bad a job Wilde has done in making her film out of the mud and the mud that has crawled into it. If your heroine doesn’t even want to promote your movie about female fun, what does that mean? Especially when it’s far and away, the best part of this disturbing, uneven, hole-packed movie?
While Wilde tries and fails to save her movie and her own reputation, Pugh keeps it up Enjoy spraying Aperol On the “group of” unquoted quote Dune. “I think we know who is the best.
