Bold and hardly forgettable

Rating: 8/10 (3 May 2020)

Greetings from Lithuania.
Its been a while since a saw a movie like "Midsommar" (2019). I saw director's cut, which ran at 2 h 45 min - its a long movie so be prepared. I won't go into spoilers, but i will say that "Midsommar" does not play as a conventional horror movie. It is barely a horror movie at all. Yet its themes can be horrifying, hopeful and bizarre for sure. It takes a visionary director to make such a film. At times, it reminded of "Eyes Wide Shut" by S. Kubrick. And this is only a second movie by Ari Aster, whose debut film "Hereditary" was better as horror movie, but this one was more bold and unique.
Overall, i'm affraid "Midsommar" is not for everyone's taste. If you liked The Wicker Man (1975), you should be at home watching this movie. It is a good piece of cinema, this i'm sure of and i really liked it overall.
