Midsommar

This is a political movie with the intent to once again bash European people by depicting European paganism in an evil way. The main theme: a diverse group of friends is sacrificed because white people bad - utilizing some form of European paganism as a vessel to drive this narrative forward.

Needless to say that this movie was praised by the usual clique and received its planned 6 million awards and nominations.

The movie is very slow. The scenes kept dragging on with boring scenery. The acting was high-school grade. The entire movie was high-school grade. Even Florence Pugh was a huge letdown. They appeared unmotivated and certainly uninspired. The movie tried to be clever by depicting foreshadowing imagery here and there. But it was too obvious.

Actor Jack Reynor insisted on being filmed in full frontal nudity. Because women are too much depicted as objects of torture in horror movies, he said. Of course nobody asked critical questions, about this happening to men in horror movies just as much. Don't you worry, interracial couples are present.

The movie itself is all about long winded semi trippy shots, weird overjoyed pagans and an ending which you saw coming from miles away.

Edit two days later:

I didn't check prior to writing this review, but the director was the scrawny Ari Aster. Here's his quote about this movie: "Sweden was an isolated place for a long time and what you see now is events unfolding similar to events in World War 2." (Forbes interview 2019 )

Ari also loves to fulfill the nudity quota. In Hereditary we had nude cultists at the end. In this movie we had nude cultists at the end.

By the way, in "The 9th Gate" we had nude cultists at the end.
