Sign In. Midsommar Hide Spoilers. Too weird for me This is really weird stuff. Not real horror, but more of a psychological mindbender. The bad: it doesnt really get scary or thrilling. It gets weird allright. The good: decent acting in a incredibly weird mindbending script. Not suited for casual viewers. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote. TheLittleSongbird 26 December Have always appreciated the genre it fits in, where there are many great films, and Florence Pugh showed a lot of promise seeing her for the first time in 'Little Women'.

In a time where attention spans are shrinking it's rewarding and refreshing to see a film not only take it's time but to do so in a way that makes the film work even better. FAQ

Florence Pugh is plunged into a terrifying pagan bacchanal in a magnificent folk-horror tale from Hereditary director Ari Aster. Ari Aster is the film-maker who made his feature debut just last year with the chiller Hereditary , and now presents us with this fantastically sinister and self-aware Euro-bacchanal, clearly inspired by the classic The Wicker Man. And that is not the only riff. Midsommar is an outrageous black-comic carnival of agony, starring charismatic Florence Pugh in a comely robe and floral headdress. It features funny-tasting pies and chorally assisted ritual sex, with pagan celebrants gazing into the middle distance and warbling as solemnly as the young dudes in the Coca-Cola TV ad about teaching the world to sing. This is supposed to be somewhere in northern Sweden, but was filmed in Hungary, and Aster, cinematographer Pawel Pogorzelski and production designer Henrik Svensson have collaborated on what are surely digitally assisted images: the sky and fields becoming a bouquet of vivid and beautiful blues and greens. Once we are in that weirdly unreal Swedish clearing, the narrative turbulence clears and things appear initially as calm as a millpond.

Ari Aster's Midsommar takes place in a placid and very remote Swedish village during a festive solstice ritual held only once every 90 years. The celebrants are calm and welcoming, all decked out in elaborate Swedish frockery evocative of butter cookies and saffron buns. The setting is pastoral and bright — the sun doesn't set for days at a time. It's a legitimately welcoming place resembling a summer camp or even a quaint local theme park.

Sadly, I didn't get it. See something else. Where The Wicker Man Director's Cut runs at a reasonable 99 minutes, its engrossing story whisking the viewer along as Edward Woodward's character attempts to solve a mystery on a remote Scottish island, Aster's film The Director's Cut takes a whopping minutes to tell its very familiar tale of unwary outsiders falling foul of an strange religion that practises bizarre rituals.

Plan to watch it twice, if for nothing else, to drink the tea again. Subtle horror, that is also a drama?

Florence Pugh is absolutely phenomenal. What would you think a movie involving white clothes and head wreaths would be about? Director Ari Aster. Tonally it's a trip because there is also so much humor injected into the script. Mainly the joke of the kids freaking out and their smiling, white oh so white hosts calming them down; assuring them that this is all merely tradition. I left the movie like I just came down from a high. See all related lists ». Let's get right into it. The script has nothing memorable, is very stilted and can fall into self-indulgence. Director Judith Hollander. Very good.
