She made it very clear that her newest film "Don't Worry Darling" was meant to tell a story of oppressed women who are controlled by power-hungry men.

Olivia Wilde has been in the headlines frequently over the last few months for a variety of reasons. Her split from actor Jason Sudeikis was especially public, heightened only by the fact that she quickly cozied up to Harry Styles, who is 10 years her junior. Her film Don't Worry Darling carried a lot of drama during the promotion of the movie and there was speculation that Florence Pugh (who played the protagonist in the film) didn't get along with Olivia. But one thing that Olivia has made clear is that the movie is meant to shed light on women's "participation in the system that objectifies us." She talked to Elle about the film and how she sees it related to a lot of the cultural issues happening today.
