Complex emotions that leave you awestruck

Rating: 9/10 (5 February 2020)

This is a type of movie that has it's audience in extremes. You either love it and can't stop talking about how beautiful the movie is or you absolutely hate it and think that people who do like it need to get into a mental institution. The movie starts with a plot which leads to what happens next, it might seems unnecessary or time consuming but it's extremely vital to understand and appreciate the ending. The movie deals with complex relations and the need for the two main characters Dani and Christian to stay in their unwanted relationship. Christian is somewhat an antogonist in the movie. The beautiful scenery , breathtaking cinematography is 10/10 no doubts. My only problem was that some important key events weren't explained any further(that just adds on to the eerie nature of the film since it leaves you with a lot to think about). Dark things happen in the movie while everything that surrounds those events seem so beautiful, spiritual and light. Amazing contrast! What makes this movie brilliant for some is something that makes it terrible for others, which is just the understanding of emotions and the ending. Nothing can make someone like this movie if they don't, it's just one of those impossible strong opinions. And there's no way to say that someone whose thinking about watching it would like it or not. It's a masterpiece by Ari aster. A lot of people watch midsommar after watching hereditary (aster's) expecting similar stuff but do not be fooled by that. While hereditary can be categorised under horror midsommar can't, this is not your movie if you're looking for another hereditary experience. It's just one of those movies that you can get so deep into and realise new things EVERYTIME you talk about it. Do not watch it if you can't handle some amount of gore. And DEFINITELY don't watch it when your mind is not ready to process all that's going to happen. I loved this movie, it takes time to appreciate it since from the second you watch it all you can do is think about it and the more you think about it, read others opinions (not the ones who didnt give it time to get to them) the more you have an opinion of the film and the more you start understanding it; it all leads to you just loving the experience and emotions that you felt .
