Midsommar
Directed by Ari Aster
Several friends travel to Sweden to study as anthropologists a summer festival that is held every ninety years in the remote hometown of one of them. What begins as a dream vacation in a place where the sun never sets, gradually turns into a dark nightmare as the mysterious inhabitants invite them to participate in their disturbing festive activities.

Critics, per Wikipedia
Midsommar grossed $27.5 million in the United States and Canada, and $20.5 million in other territories, for a total worldwide gross of $48 million. In the United States and Canada, the film was projected to gross $8–10 million from 2,707 theaters over its first five days. It made $3 million on its first day, including $1.1 million from Tuesday night previews, which Deadline Hollywood called a "smashing start". It went on to debut to $10.9 million, finishing sixth at the box office; IndieWire said it was "just decent" given its estimated $8 million budget, but the film would likely find success in home media. In its second weekend, the film dropped 44% to $3.7 million, finishing in eighth,…

neutral · AI labelView post →My nana loved horror films, Stephen King works in particular. The last movies I watched with her is when we did a triple feature of Black Phone, Doctor Sleep and Midsommar: Director’s Cut. She loved them all, though I will admit, Midsommar is a funny choice for final film to watch with your grandma

neutral · AI labelView post →Possibly unpopular take: Midsommar is a comfort movie for me. I KNOW I KNOW BUT HEAR ME OUT It’s all about how grief and loneliness fuck you up, and my husband died on the summer solstice, so it hits a weird dark spot in me that makes me feel seen.
positive · AI labelView post →I need a comfort movie. “You mean like a Ghibli film?” No, I think I’ll go with Midsommar tonight
positive · AI labelView post →Crossing off another “horror blind spot” viewing with this one. I’ve seen Midsommar, which was reportedly heavily influenced by this. Plus, I love 70s films, so hopefully this tickles my fancy 😌 #NW The Wicker Man (1973) 🎬 #100HorrorMoviesin92Days
neutral · AI labelView post →"Hereditary" is probabiy the scariest movie I've seen in the last ten years. And yes, I enjoyed "Midsommar" but I would not say it was scary. Just uncomfortable.
positive · AI labelView post →Midsommar is a comfort film because it says that even if your boyfriend's a jerk you will always have the loving embrace of an inbred murder cult to fall back on.
positive · AI labelView post →just saw a "when the movie themes don't match the color aesthetic" reel on insta, about fucking *Midsommar*, & it's so dumb I can't even be mad (ok I'm a bit mad)
negative · AI labelView post →Thinking about the movie Midsommar
neutral · AI labelView post →Love those horror movie videos that go, “Here are three hidden gems we guarantee you haven’t seen!” and then they show you Session 9, Midsommar, and The Wailing.

neutral · AI labelView post →I think I’ve raised my film cred with my son because I’ve shown him The Exorcist, Midsommar, Midnight Run, In Bruges, Risky Business, Rear Window, Tootsie and Rosemary’s Baby. Now I have to use that goodwill to show him Singing In The Rain and any movie made pre-1950.

positive · AI labelView post →Midsommar (2019) dir. Ari Aster 🎬 This film certainly owes a debt to The Wicker Man ('73), but it goes its own way with a mystery #horror story that serves as a clever allegory for the psychological trauma of a painful break-up. Florence Pugh is amazing. #filmsky #moviesky #cinema
positive · AI labelView post →I remain convinced that MIDSOMMAR is a great film, but I do not believe that it is a great horror film. I think that it's a wicked satire. It's the "Dr. Strangelove" of Folk Horror. It's absurd and it leans into absurdity and dares you to question it. I adore it.
positive · AI labelView post →love that movie Midsommar, sorry two spoil it but it turns out the sommar is just kind of ok
neutral · AI labelView post →Alucard's face in SOTN was based on the 15-year old visage of Björn Andrésen from the frankly quite creepy film 'Death in Venice" (he was also the old man who faceplants in Midsommar)
neutral · AI labelView post →there are other movies, like, e.g., Midsommar, whose entire point depends on the movie being misunderstood by its audience.

neutral · AI labelView post →I don't think Midsommar has a happy ending, but I also think the people who *do* think that are actually reading the film better than the people who think it's a ludicrous suggestion.. You've never debated anyone like me before

neutral · AI labelView post →Midsommar is a great movie for many reasons but also because it just fucking skewers casually shitty dudes in a way that no other movie has.
positive · AI labelView post →Girls will be like "this is my comfort movie" and it's literally Midsommar
neutral · AI labelView post →I enjoy folk horror, and this film had Midsommar vibes in spades! The symbol, while reminiscent of another found footage film that came before, had another meaning. I was left with many questions, which I consider a good thing after seeing a film. It was a difficult watch. 🐾🐾🐾 #FilmSky #FolkHorror

neutral · AI labelView post →In Midsommar, allegedly an anti-nazi movie, we see eugenics work. TWICE. The lady who assaulted Chris (yeah he sucks, but so did that) is shown certain she got pregnant as she wished off one encounter, and whenever the community needs a disabled person they just breed one on purpose like it's easy.
neutral · AI labelView post →hiii MIDSOMMAR freak here with some thoughts! the movie is a horror story about how people who are traumatized or in abusive relationships will often choose other abusive relationships because they're so conditioned to it she leaves her abuser for a racist death cult
