Underwhelming

Rating: 7/10 (8 July 2019)

I was very excited to see this movie, saw tons of hype on social media so decided to see it in theaters. Was disappointed in the fact that the movie wasn't scary or thrilling at all, just very bizarre and disturbing.
Dani suffers a lot and the plot basically revolves around her misfortune and her boyfriends pathetic attempt to make her feel better. Midsommar seemed more focused on their relationship than the cult itself which was interesting. Not much explaination about the cult and they are basically unpredictable pagans. The ending was weak in my opinion. Still worth the watch for the shocking scenes and rituals, and just a mind blowing psychological movie. My eyes were glued to the screen despite how slow and uneventful the plot was. Doesn't live up to hype and I believe critics are caught up on the interesting cinematography and good acting. Seems like an indie hipster movie.
