When too much is too little

Rating: 6/10 (20 August 2019)

I'm all for not overexplaining things to the audience - but this movie just felt like they sat down and went "okay so come up with crazy stuff you might see in a isolated cult!". Also the fact that the friend group felt so separated and not really caring about eachother + making strange decision over and over made it hard to feel for anyone - ultimately not caring what happened to them in the end and during.
I would have prefered it if they had a more gradual suspence in the story and maybe not starting their stay immidiately with super odd stuff and 2 people jumping of a cliff.
Interesting concept and stunning cinematography, many of the actors performances are amazing and on point, however so many things were lacking and overall it just felt flat and... strange (in a bad way). If you expected hereditary 2 - this ain't it, Midsommar is not a horror film even tho the trailer kind of makes it look that way.
It just kind of felt like they wanted to make it odd just to make it odd.
