Tea and flowers...
Too easily compared to The Wicker Man, Midsommar is a beautiful and unique film that does more to pay homage than it tries to copy - in fact, it could be easily seen as a film that plays with occult tropes that haven’t been touched since the likes of The Wicker Man. So many films that take on occult genres are very much more in the vein of Rosemary’s Baby, night time scenarios. Midsommar shows us the terrors that happen in the daylight. This film is filled with environment and colors, thrusting it’s love-lost characters into a strange and surreal trip, filled with hypnotic visuals and all. Essentially a break-up film at heart, the first half of the film builds its tension with the attempt to familiarize one’s self in an unknown setting, all while pulling the main characters further and further away from each other, leaving a sort of communication gap. This breakdown crumbles alongside everything else happening around them, and as they travel further into the rabbit hole, the further they unravel the truth of the Midsommar traditions. Ari Aster is a masterful filmmaker, taking us on yet another meaningful and terrifying adventure through every day life experiences. If you’re a fan of his first film Hereditary, this one definitely carries the torch.

Very.....unsettling. In a good way.
I can say so much about this movie, but it all depends on the viewer. You're either gonna really like this movie or you're gonna hate it. Personally, I loved it. The sense of dread builds at a steady pace to a very satisfying ending. The film is shot beautifully, with so much detail in every frame. And it does not shy away from that detail in the terrible ways the unfortunate twenty something's fate. The story is simple but complex enough to keep you guessing what's really going on. So good!

Different kind of horror movie
A truly unsettling film that relies more on an impending sense of doom to inspire horror rather than all the jump scares that seem so prevalent in many of the more recent horror films. It also feels like you’re being let in on the rituals and customs of an unknown culture which is very interesting until the film starts to get deadly serious. It runs long but I found myself engaged throughout.
