Why it’s HorroRated
Midsommar is a film about a breakup set inside a folk horror ritual and Ari Aster treats both subjects with the same sustained attention. Florence Pugh's grief is the film's engine and the Harga commune is the most fully realized cult in recent horror. Shooting the horror in bright Swedish daylight is the decision that makes it genuinely unsettling. An essential film.
Synopsis
Ari Aster shoots the horror in broad daylight and through a sustained atmosphere of dread that builds over nearly two and a half hours. Florence Pugh's grief is the film's actual subject and the Harga commune is the most fully realized cult in recent horror. An essential film.
