Review of Midsommar

Midsommar (2019)
6/10
When too much is too little
20 August 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I'm all for not overexplaining things to the audience - but this movie just felt like they sat down and went "okay so come up with crazy stuff you might see in a isolated cult!". Also the fact that the friend group felt so separated and not really caring about eachother + making strange decision over and over made it hard to feel for anyone - ultimately not caring what happened to them in the end and during.

I would have prefered it if they had a more gradual suspence in the story and maybe not starting their stay immidiately with super odd stuff and 2 people jumping of a cliff.

Interesting concept and stunning cinematography, many of the actors performances are amazing and on point, however so many things were lacking and overall it just felt flat and... strange (in a bad way). If you expected hereditary 2 - this ain't it, Midsommar is not a horror film even tho the trailer kind of makes it look that way.

It just kind of felt like they wanted to make it odd just to make it odd.
