Many unkind things about Olivia Wilde

Posted on January 3, 2023 by reelentropy

4/10 I like Olivia Wilde as an actress. I’ve never met her, but I’m sure she’s a very nice lady. Now that’s out of the way, Don’t Worry Darling is a lukewarm mess, not terrible, interesting enough to be as … Continue reading →
