Review of Midsommar

Midsommar (2019)
5/10
What a beautiful, inspiring tale. And there is SO much of it.

When the credits were rolling, my heart was lifted.

This is a movie we don't get often. A movie about community, about empathy. A movie about the importance of traditions, and even religion. Most of all, it's about sacrifice.

Be warned, though: this film takes its time. If you want something more action-paced, I recommend the very similar-themed, but less lenghty The Wicker Man. The one from the 70s.

This is not about thrills. The ending is clear, long before you get there. As I said: This movie REALLY dares to take its time. Don't expect too much tension, because although it might feel tense, sometimes, it also lasts long enough - and then some - to ease out any of these feelings.

God, this is such a good movie about values.
