Disturbing, yet excellent storytelling.

That's what exactly makes Ari Aster standout from rest of the Hollywood horror bunch.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Oppressive. That is how I would describe this film both visually and thematically. The rest of the film following the distressing first act is so brightly lit that it's disorienting. The village of Harga barely even gets dark at night, making the setting overwhelming. Then the other aspect for me is how Dani's grief is oppressing her. The loss of her sister and parents weighs so heavily on her that she isn't able to see or chooses not to face that her boyfriend Christian is detached and completely un-invested in the relationship. This film is a slow burn and it takes its time but hits hard when showing it's horrifically disturbing imagery. Throughout I had a sense of dread, acutely so since the cast of American characters are on drugs throughout the whole thing and react as one would expect being in that kind of mindset. These horrific things like the Harga elders jumping from the cliffside and killing themselves warrants a different reaction that we see in the British couple, but the Americans are just sort of numbed to it (which itself could be a commentary on American society and its relationship with violence). This filled me with a sense of dread because I knew that they wouldn't even try to escape their fates since they are inoculated to the horrific things happening in front of them. I found this film captivating and it's deserving of a watch if you've not seen it yet.… Expand

Not the greatest horror movie. The whole experience feels very artsy with very little actual horror and more weirdness. Very slow movie with no real payoff.

If this movie wasn’t classified as horror I’d probably give it a higher score. It’s pretentious and lacks any real aspects that horror demands. The heroine lacks any redeeming qualities.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What’s scary about Midsummer is how many people saw it as a happy movie. They were happy that Dani finally got what she wanted, a family. In reality, the Hårga are a cult. Pelle chose Dani to be the new member because he knew that she had no family or friends who would investigate her disappearance and was desperate for a sense of belonging.

It’s funny how people are confident that they’d never get indoctrinated into a cult, yet these same people didn't see the Hårga as a cult. I’m like, “of course you wouldn’t get indoctrinated into a cult. You’re not desperate enough.” People join cults when, like Dani, their lives are in shambles. They’re poor/homeless, their family abandoned them, their family is dead, they don't have friends, they’re sick, or they’re having an existential crisis and are seeking guidance. Some people claim that the Hårga wasn't that bad because they showed Dani she'd be getting into. But, does she though? For example, of the Hårga's traditions is when their members reach the age of 72, they're no longer seen as being of use to the village and commit suicide by falling off a mountain. So, what happens when a member reaches 72, is perfectly healthy, and doesn’t want to die? Do you think the cult is just gonna let them live and die of natural causes? No. They’re either gonna force them off the mountain, sacrifices them, or exile them to the forest to fend for themselves. Since the Hårga live miles away from civilization and don't have phones or cell reception, no one can call for help. The Hårga, like all rural villages, believe in traditional gender roles. What happens when a female member is infertile or doesn’t want to get pregnant? Or a male member doesn’t want to work or becomes disabled? Cults are notorious for being ruthless to members who step out of line or can’t contribute. We never see Hårga members getting punished or tortured for insubordination in the movie because they wanted to show Dani all their good sides. Do you think Pelle would’ve taken Dani to the village if it was raining or there wasn’t a festival? No. He specially chose the perfect day to make the Hårga as appealing as possible. Dani is still trapped and will be forced to conform to their way of life, or else.

People also say the Hårga is like paradise compared to mainstream American society because they could give Dani what she needed without technology. However, it wasn’t modern society that caused Dani to be miserable, it was a combination of Christian’s apathy and Dani’s sister murdering her parents. We never know why she murdered her parents and killed herself. Was she mentally ill? We’re Dani’s parents abusing her? We don’t know. Society also didn’t make Dani introverted; that’s just the way she is. If Christian were a better boyfriend, and Dani had better friends, Pelle wouldn't have targeted her for indoctrination.

There's also been debate on whether or not the Hårga are a cult. They are, but not in the way we think of cults. They're similar to the Amish. They can claim to not be a cult since the members are allowed to leave. There's even a tradition called Rumspringa where Amish teens can choose to either stay or leave the village. The problem is both the Hårga and Amish's way of life is completely incompatible with the outside world. If any of them did leave, where could they go? They don't have driver's licenses, passports, dental records, social security codes, birth certificates, education records, or any form of official identification. As for work, the only thing they could do is low-skill factory work, be a maid/housekeeper, or a farmhand.

People who were born and raised there are unlikely to leave because that would mean abandoning all their friends, family, and the only life they've ever known. Even though they're not technically hostages, their culture makes assimilation with the outside world is almost impossible. That's why a lot of them say, "Why would I leave? I have everything I need." This is why we see none of the Hårga leave, even though they could. That's why self-sustaining cults are dangerous.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's a slow paced movie that keeps you waiting for the climax, and when the girls start moaning and screaming, i don't even know the right words to describe that, but it's genius, and it can be slightly underwhelming depending on how high are your expectations, and it's also not the garbage jumpscare kind of terror, so it may disappoint some people, and it's also not the most shocking movie I've watched, it's way more forgettable than other I've watched from other directors, but it's a great movie… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the type of movie where the reaction of the people around you is more scary than the movie itself. The movie is around cults, how they pull the right strings, manipulate your vulnerability and desire to "belong" to commit horrible injustices and to over react to upsetting things. If you believe that the end of the movie is a "happy ending", then congrats, you're the type of person who believes to be "too smart" to join a cult, but in fact you are the most easy to manipulate into join one. On a site note, never stay with someone who you don't actually love just because you feel pity for them, you're just hurting both. At the end, the protagonist just changed one toxic relationship for another. People say is a "happy ending" because she makes the cult kill her boyfriend by burning him alive, because he "cheated" (the cult drugged him and he was actually raped, but she didn't know that, the cult lied to her), but the fact she thought that he deserves to be burned alive because of that, is beyond me (or to any reasonable person with a cold head). What is scary is that people think this is "empowering". If the gender were reversed then they would say otherwise, which says a lot about out horrible society.… Expand

Yes, the writing certainly deserves some credit for those two things, but Florence's performance is so incredibly raw and uncompromising that you'd swear Dani was a real person. I would put her performance in this film right along aside Toni Collette's in "Hereditary". Both are, without a doubt, beyond Oscar-worthy. Moving away from Pugh for a little while, "Midsommar's" other aspects all work quite well. While the story does occasionally feature cliches within the way it chooses to dispose of its characters, the film as a whole does a good job of being interesting and deeply unique, and much of that is thanks to its bright color palette, and wonderous set design. Just as Pugh makes Dani a real figure, the cult in "Midsommar" is expertly built-up and detailed in their construction to the point where you feel just as terrified of them as the characters. Their actions, lore, and ways of attracting new members all feel relatively grounded, and increase the horror of the film overall. While this may not be on the same level as Hereditary, "Midsommar" is one more piece of evidence that Ari Aster is of modern cinema's most talented writers and directors.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie starts out underlining how bad of a boyfriend Jack is for having the audacity to even considering his own mental health and lifegoals amidst his girlfriends(Dani) breakdowns, and need for his constant support, regardless of his own needs, and capacity. Love is a two way street right? Not according to this movie, which it plainly states during a phone between Dani and her friend.

In the end they torch Jack, because he was selected by Dani as a sacrifice. It was his own fault for being an unfaithful **** I guess. The movie is trying to send a message about community, and togetherness, in today's individualistic oriented society, which I can appreciate, but I could've been without the typical tropes of masculin ambition versus female sensitivity, which is an extremely simplistic way of looking at relationships and the way we interact with each other in modern society.

Watching this movie, I kinda felt I was being force fed a "woke" manhating statement.

Great acting though, especially by Florence Pugh.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I agree with the negative reviews in that the characters are not very fleshed out, but that is so common with movies and horror movies especially that I can't see why that's something to hold against this movie in particular. TLDR: SPOILERS!!

In the end, it is the originality of the setting and cinematography and some of the acting that got me to 7 on this. I am glad I saw it. It stuck in my head, and I don't regret spending the time to watch it. But it would have been WAYYYYYYY BETTTTTERR!!! if the main characters were newlyweds and maybe expecting a baby and she found out that the guy had slept with her sister before she killed herself or something and he regretted it and loved the girlfriend but it was too late because she was so traumatized by her sister's suicide and murder of their parents that she condemns him anyway and maybe runs into the fire herself or something. Instead, it is like "Guy I've been dating for three months is sort of self-centered..." BFD. Then it is neither deserved nor a surprise nor ambiguous when he is killed. It's just uninteresting.


MAIN REVIEW: The boyfriend character who gets burned up at the end is always a problem. How do you make him bad enough to sort of deserve it, but not so bad that it is absurd that his girlfriend and friends event want to be around him? Or do you make him "good" so it is a shocking twist? This movie fails there. He just is not a great guy. But he's also not a terrible guy. He's having trouble dealing with a girlfriend with *MASSIVE* trauma issues? Understandable. He kind of cribs his friend's idea to do a thesis on this community? Also skeevy, but not too high on the scale. And he "only" cheats on his GF under a huge amount of drug-induced duress bordering on outright threats, kidnapping and extortion. So all in all, it doesn't pack much of a satisfaction in him getting fried in the end. But he's also a crummy enough guy that you are not shocked at all. So it's not a twist either. Tough job to do but they didn't do it.

The biggest problem I have with the BG/GF dynamic here is common to many modern films: You're not married! You are just dating! You haven't been dating that long! So why do you care so much?! So why should we?! Why do you go on this trip together in the first place? Why do you become homicidal when he (only technically) cheats on you? OK, I am old fashioned I guess, but this was a problem as long ago as the show 'Friends': You can't really deal with anything heavy like "love," so it was just "feelings." Here you can't feed the patriarchy by having these two be newlyweds. Fine. But they are shown from the beginning to be in a weak, dicey relationship that doesn't seem to have been going on that long. So it is not enough to justify the distress, decisions, and ending of the BF and GF. You just kind of want to say, "Who cares?!" Where are the stakes? They are not even living together. No stakes because they don't have anything invested in their relationship, so why should we??

The other characters are stock friends. Fine. It is tough to get post-grad smarties like this to somehow stay in this absolute loony commune absent physical force, and they do an OK job of that. BF and the other anthropology student stay because they want to do their theses, GF stays to be with BF, two randos try to leave and get killed, and one kid stays to get laid then gets murdered. All in all, just when I was about to roll my eyes about them not just leaving, the movie did an OK job of getting them to stay long enough for their own reasons. But still there were some red flags at the end when the BF and GF should have said F this and ran off. But then they probably would have been smashed with the big hammer or kept by some other force, so fine. And they had lots of perfect psychadelic drugs to make it somewhat believable that they might stay.

I still liked this movie a lot because of the cool, "What if Viking-era pagan beliefs survived or were reborn?" idea. It was beautiful to watch. The acting was good. The idea had just enough twists and originality.

Totally worth watching, but because of the lack of any investment in the final two surviving characters (by the audience or between themselves) you just don't care that much after. And the ending is fairly predictable.… Expand

From there, it is incredible how we see the journey to cope with grief and also the incredible strangeness of this trip and the village. Stunning cinematography and an emphasis on the emotion. Actors really worked well. I enjoyed this film as a psycholgical, unsettling horror that confronts you with how people have to keep going despite everything around them, as well as become complacent in the strange and unnerving if it offers them relief. 9/10… Expand

This film, marketed as a horror film, turned out to be less horror and more of a drama about relationships and the difference of humanity. Parts of this film feel more like a black comedy and you never really feel all that scared. The acting is fine, but the dialogue is forgettable and some set pieces that are clearly trying to elicit emotions of terror and fear are instead met by feelings of comedy. The setup of this film is excruciating long and unnecessarily complex, with many of the more interesting plot points of the introduction being sidelined or not at all mentioned in the future. The pacing is also ridiculously slow resulting in me forgetting that it's a horror movie. In order to make up for the lack of truly horrific elements, this film instead chooses to go overboard on the gore, which honestly (while disgusting) has little effect. Gore does not equate to scary. The plot is extremely predictable and the character's are just as forgettable as this film's dialogue. Certain elements feel completely unneeded while others are drawn out too long. Hereditary was a great example of horror as it preyed on your expectations and subverted them. This film plays it safe and the plot could likely be predicted by anyone who knows anything about a stereotypical "cult horror" film.

While it is easy to be harsh on this movie, there are certain elements that work nicely for it. Pugh's performance is the strongest out of all the characters, the soundtrack succeeds in creating the eerie mood this film aims to create, and the cinematography is absolutely brilliant. While these elements are most certainly impressive, they get weighed down by the criticisms above.

Overall, Midsommar is nothing short of a disappointment, choosing to focus on boring plot points and forgettable characters while brushing the more interesting parts of the setup to the side. This film fails as a horror movie by being, in all areas save for gore, quite dull, and is quite a forgettable experience. It also fails as a drama or a comedy by doing neither one effectively. In total, what you get is a mediocre film that tries to convey a theme, but does so with varying levels of success.… Expand

Paleoanthropological and also biological pathology (including flora and fauna) of love life, driven by endogenous and exogenous drugs (chemical key stimuli): does Aster have something new to say? Let alone. Does he have his own expressive peculiarity? But for goodness sake: he plunders the cinematic imagery of the sectarian or bucolic community of "Village of the Damned" (1960), "The Wicker Man" (1973) with its remake (2006), "The Village" (2004), "The Sacrament" (2013) re-evaluating the video for "Burn the Witch" by Radiohead, which at least synthesizes the agony from 147 minutes to 4 scarce. And he does even worse: as the Italian subtitle of his previous film "Hereditary" states, he investigates "the roots of evil". Woe to seek whether there is even only the possibility of good and its roots. "And sweet to me is shipwreck on this sea of nihilism".… Expand

چله تابستان یا نیمه تابستان یا همان میدسامر، اثر کارگردان جوان و خوش آتیه آری استر، یکی از بهترین تجربه‌های ژانر وحشت برای من بود.
از همان لحظات ابتدایی فیلم و رویارویی با اولین حادثه و بازی باورپذیر نقش اصلی فیلم، "فلورنس پاف"، احساسات وچله تابستان یا نیمه تابستان یا همان میدسامر، اثر کارگردان جوان و خوش آتیه آری استر، یکی از بهترین تجربه‌های ژانر وحشت برای من بود.
از همان لحظات ابتدایی فیلم و رویارویی با اولین حادثه و بازی باورپذیر نقش اصلی فیلم، "فلورنس پاف"، احساسات و دلهره‌ای عجیب در من به وجود آورد. مسیری که شخصیت اصلی در آن قرار می‌گیرد، از همان ابتدا به شدت رمزآلود و مرموز است و این امر اگرچه کلیشه‌ به نظر می‌آید اما به خوبی در این فیلم به کار گرفته شده.
آری استر بار دیگر در فیلم خود قواعد و قوانین ژانر وحشت را به چالش می‌کشد. در این فیلم از به قول معروف "جامپ اسکیر" های معمول در این ژانر خبری نیست و یا به ندرت دیده می‌شود، در عوض، کارگردان سبک و امضا خود را در ترس و دلهره تماشاگر دارد و گاهی اتفاقات به حدی عجیب و دلهره‌آور است که تا مدتی در ذهن می‌مانند.
شاید خیلی از تصمیمات شخصیت‌ها پیرامون اتفاقات، مضحک و احمقانه به نظر آید (هرچند این موضوع نیز در این ژانر معمول است) اما ماندن و پذیرش شرایط توسط شخصیت‌ها، آن‌قدرها هم آزاردهنده نیست و این امر به این دلیل است که تماشاگر نیز به اندازه شخصیت‌های فیلم علاقه دارد به پاسخ برسد.
موسیقی و صداسازی، طراحی صحنه، قاب‌ها و تصاویر بی‌نظیر، از نقاط قوت این فیلم به شمار می‌آید.
در کل بعد از "جادوگر" اثر "رابرت بگرز" و "موروثی" اثر همین کارگردان، این سومین فیلم ترسناکی بود که طی این چند سال از دیدنش لذت بردم.
دیدن این فیلم را به همه‌ی علاقه‌مندان به این ژانر توصیه می‌کنم.… Expand

It's a slow pace movie with goodish character building (some of them are just there with no explanation). But it's predictable as hell. From the start of the movie (around 30 minutes in) you know what will happen and you just expect it. For me this is the worst thing that you can do to your audience. The gore is there just to shock you.
in the last hour I was distracted by other things in my room and that means that the movie lost my attention. Finishing my humble opinion about this. Watch the movie and have fun with it.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Midsommar is a glimpse into the sadistic world of what happens when you take dark folklore and mix it with hallucinogenic drugs. There is a lot to like here from a cinematography standpoint but with a lack of character substance to make you truly connect and or feel any emotion toward the Hårga nor the group of Americans. Least of all Dani, who is abysmal is every respect as a character with no redeeming qualities to be spoken of. Her companions all had their flaws, Christian especially but to let him be sacrificed in place of a random cannibal cult member is absurd and outside of rational thought. The ending I am assuming is saying that she has let go of all of her problems in a symbolic moment of purity by flame but also incites that she is now one with the Hårga. I can't wrap my head around how this movie got such rave reviews. To sum it all up:
Pros: Cinematography and Music that help you feel as though you are there and also have taken the hallucinogens that the cast has due to the bizarre breathing effect that seems to become more and more omnipresent as the film reaches its bombastic conclusion.
Cons: Lack of character depth and non-sensible story line that will leave most who watch it with more sighs than anything else. 5/10… Expand

Watched this,and as others have noted, it was too long and pretty much a waste of time. Think Wicker Man without the Cage overacting and you will have the general idea, though admitted this one has better cinematography than that film. ButWatched this,and as others have noted, it was too long and pretty much a waste of time. Think Wicker Man without the Cage overacting and you will have the general idea, though admitted this one has better cinematography than that film. But the characters are two-dimensional, and there seems to be no consistent plot. Critics love it because they are looking beyond the walls of entertaining folks, I suppose, but as others have mentioned, when you finish this, you will want those two and a half hours back. I'll go two based solely on the beautiful camera work through most of this, but I prefer story and characters over pretty pictures.… Expand

I kind of liked the cinematography. But that’s about it. Everything else was a waste of my time. Didn’t make sense, didn’t like the characters and the actors performance. Didn’t like the story -was there a story?-. Didn’t liked it, at all.

Critics review are positive, even audience reviews are also positive but I saw some negatives also. Those giving negative reviews should know that this movie is not for them.

The movie had a story and it's execution was also good. In some scenes, movie loses the grip but overall it goes well till the end. The main flaw of this movie was the performances by the actors. None of them was able to connect with the audience. Other than that, everything went right.

Overall, a good movie which you may or may not enjoy. This mainly depends on the story you want to see. I liked the movie, not that much but it was a nice experience.… Expand

The entire cast is what keeps this film intriguing. Not much else does. I was someone who, while I was very uncomfortable, really enjoyed Hereditary, minus the ending, so I was hoping Midsommar would give me another satisfying film. So, I don’t want anyone to think I’m being overly harsh. For me, the film was nothing but a bunch of beautifully, disturbing images without any substance. If you enjoy Florence Pugh and the rest of the cast, than I’d say proceed with caution because they’re about the only good things about it. In my opinion, skip it, don’t waste your time. Just watch Hereditary again.… Expand

The idea behind the film is good. The idea is to talk about the pain of a loss, the elaboration of mourning, the distance of those who should be part of your family and the welcome from those who do not expect. But here characters feel like they're not always well written, the movie never takes flight and turns out to give the wrong idea of ​​Sweden and its communities. Then I saw the director's cut and characters are so better written than the ones you see in theater version. Times are dilated in the first half of the movies and then rythm becomes faster and more compelling. . You feel like there are skills in Aster directing and they are more evident in the director's cut to which i give my score. Great performance by Florence Pugh. The score Is more like a 6,5 for the theater version but I will give it 7 for the slightly better director's cut and for the madness and originality of the script.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I had watched Hereditary and enjoyed it for the most part. There was so much in it that was unsettling and I really enjoyed that aspect of it. I was hoping to get the same feeling from this movie. Sadly, I was very disappointed with this movie. There were some disturbing scenes in this movie but overall I found this film to be kind of all over the place. There were a lot of plot points that were introduced and then just never flushed out. I'm all for ambiguity but I felt like some scenes didn't contribute to the story at all. I did not like any of the characters at all other than the main lead. I thought that the two friends bickering about their project was so unnecessary and childish. I couldn't relate to the culture or the experiences of the characters in the movie which may contribute to my low score. This movie could be scary and interesting for those with a background in that culture but I found this movie uninteresting.… Expand
