Ari Aster made an auspicious feature directing debut in 2018 with “Hereditary,” a mind-warping horror film that combined family tragedy with supernatural terror and was so admired by critics that it became a rare example of its genre to appeal to awards voters too, including the Critics’ Choice and Independent Spirit Awards. Just a year later the filmmaker has followed that up with “Midsommar,” which opened on July 3. It’s also a horror film and also distributed by A24. Is it also as good?
As of this writing the film has predominantly positive notices. It has a MetaCritic score of 71 based on 39 reviews — 30 positive, 8 mixed, 1 outright negative. And over on Rotten Tomatoes it gets a freshness rating of 82% based on 125 reviews counted thus far. The Rt critics’ consensus says, “Ambitious, impressively crafted, and above all unsettling, ‘Midsommar’ further proves writer-director Ari Aster is a horror auteur to be reckoned with.”
