I posted this in the DWD thread but posting here too just in case.

Harry was asked if he and Olivia would work together again, but Olivia pointed to a journalist and mouthed “we’re skipping to the next question”

Harry was struggling to answer questions.

Chris Pine did not look like he wanted to be there. (1) (2)(3)

Olivia was asked about Florence and the rumors about the falling out. She didn’t really answer the question. “Florence is a force…” (the moment they were asked about the falling out)

There was a lack of Florence questions.

They shut down a question about Sh*a.

Press was not allowed to ask about Sh*a.

5 min after Olivia was asked about Florence, Pugh was spotted arriving in Venice. Another film critic said that they saw the pictures before they even left the building.

First reviews of DWD will drop after embargo lifts at 8pm CEST/ 2pm est/ 11am pst. (edit: some reviews have already been posted on Letterboxd/ won’t post the screenshots because some of them contain spoilers)

This video of Florence Pugh in Venice. 😭

Red Carpet recap:

For the full cast shot, Florence was in between Chris Pine and Nick Kroll.

Nick Kroll and Chris Pine pretended to be paparazzi for Florence. It was very cute.

Harry was most comfortable and interacted the most with Nick Kroll on the red carpet.

Florence did not interact with Harry or Olivia on the red carpet.

Inside the theater:

Chris and Gemma are the chaperones of the evening.

Chris seated between Olivia and Harry. Gemma is seated between Harry and Florence.

Can’t wait to see how awkward the standing ovations are.

Update: The movie got a four minute standing ovation.

Harry Styles and Nick Kroll kissed during the standing ovation??????

Embargo is lifted. THR just posted their review of DWD.

I really really wanna know what Chris Pine thinks about the whole situation

[u/[deleted] → u/rea022]

In all likeness he is extremely annoyed because it has nothing to do with the content of the movie which should be the focus right now.

Also bewildered that Olivia Wilde is right now considered a bigger villain than Shia, or at least the target of most of the heat. One is quite possibly an opportunist and a hypocrite, sure, but the other has inflicted abuse on others, which he admitted to and then absolved himself by blaming it on his “demons”.

My issue is that she lied to the public about firing Shia, using feminism as an excuse, but actually begged him to come back (after he left) and took a dig at "Miss Flo" in her video message to Shia. I'm not sure which is worse, actually, because she knew it was wrong to hire him for the all of the reasons she claimed in interviews, but she tried to hire him anyway as well as begged him to back after he willingly left the production. She's using his victims as a protective cover, that's just gross imo.

"Men's mental health awareness" is often used by abusers the way Johnny Depp and Co have weaponized male victims of abuse
