Hollywood actress Olivia Wilde's highly-publicized thriller Don’t Worry Darling made its global debut at the Venice Film Festival on Monday receiving a spirited 5-minute standing ovation following the premiere.
According to Variety, the film’s stars kept their distance during the ovation, “almost as if they weren’t even in the same film together.” As reported earlier, Florence Pugh had skipped the press conference for the film earlier in the day. When the audience at Venice erupted into a 4-minute standing ovation for the film, a teary-eyed Pugh turned away from her director, as she instead faced (and danced with) her co-star Nick Kroll. Moreover, during the ovation, Harry Styles and Kroll quickly kissed on the lips.

For the last few weeks, Don't Worry Darling has seen countless headlines in its name, thanks to the relationship between Styles and his director Olivia Wilde, rumors of a rift between Wilde and her lead star Pugh and Shia LaBeouf's controversial early exit from the cast. Per the report, the audience clapped during one of the more climatic scenes and the ovation would probably have gone on longer if Pugh hadn’t made her way for the exit about three minutes into the clapping, prompting the rest of the cast to follow her.
Besides Styles and Pugh, the stellar cast for the psychological thriller also includes Chris Pine, director Olivia Wilde, Gemma Chan, KiKi Layne and Nick Kroll. Katie Silberman wrote the screenplay from a spec script by Carey and Shane Van Dyke. Don't Worry Darling is Wilde's follow-up feature to 2019's coming-of-age comedy Booksmart.
Don't Worry Darling opens in theaters on September 23.
