Review of Midsommar

Midsommar (2019)
8/10
Already Has a Cult Following.
3 October 2019
I wasn't as captivated watching Midsommar as I was with Hereditary, but with that said, this is a one of a kind film experience that had me in a state of laughing mania when the credits rolled. Bizarre doesn't even begin to explain where this film takes you. Some moments pulled me out of the film's ever growing psychotropic mania, but they were done well enough to actually keep me engaged. The character of Dani was incredibly acted and deserves some sort of praise during award season. Grief, anxiety and trauma are hard to depict on their own but in this case they are intertwined like what we see her go through is actually happening. Doesn't live up to the weirdness of Mulholland Drive but boy does it come close.
