Midsommar

Ari Aster created a very divided feature film in Hereditary, today we discuss his sophomore film that is even more divided. A clever twist to a classic horror sub-genre, we follow the story of Dani and friends experiencing the midsummer festival in a small town in Sweden. A film designed to disorient you and make you feel uneased does not pull any punches, just like Aster's first film. The biggest scare though is at a 2 hour and 40 minutes run time this can make the films already slow pacing feel worse on top of feeling like your missing something along the way. All of this aside, this is a technical masterpiece and If you can get through the issues with this film, even you can become the may queen.
