Rating: 9/10 (26 April 2020)

Midsommar is first of all an experience to the senses. you can see, touch,hear, even smell sometimes. it's hard to tell but the film gives you the full experience. it goes slow in order for us to have a good look inside the community, it makes us change our opinions at the right points, and the outside characters are at the same boat as we are. it has a symbology right from the start that unfods until it's ending. it's a very coherent and solid script first of all.
all the signs until the end are there. the film just goes little by little, let's you enjoy the ride the amazing scenery, the colors,the music the food...even the drugs they apply. it's a complete immersive experience, that follows the journey of thise friends and mostly dani which is the protagonist, and kinda seems the one that needs the most of being there.
it's a long run true: but it doesn't seem that big. the film is never boring mostly because there are always interesting happenings, and the community keeps you hooked and keeps you guessing. then it's very very well shot: the scenes were crafted beautifully, you see a lot of big camera shots that have three or four, or sometimes five things going on at the same time. even in scenes with just two people there are a whole bunch of details that can be seen.
the story by itself is not lynchian is not that complex to follow, don't worry about that.it has a bunch of weird stuff don't get me wrong, but ari aster is not here to complicate your life in order to understand the plot. but obliges you to be immerse in the universe to try to understand the motives behind it all. it mostly wants you to engage on this trip and to fel you're inside the movie. because i got that feeling. plus you can feel the influence of the wicker man here and there, no doubt about it, but oh my...this one is better. it's almost a masterpiece.
with a great scene design, awesome camera shots, music, plot, characters and acting, this movie has it all. i truly believe it will stay as a classic, maybe not a mainstream one, but indeed a classic. i'm rooting for it, this deserves and delivers. ari aster has the potential to be one of the top filmmakers in years to come. i haven't seen hereditary, i know it's more "straightforward, but midsommar...oh my. what a trip. what a movie. i just don't give it a 10 because it has to land on me. but it's easily one of the best movies i saw lately. please watch it, people need to feel this energy. if they don't like it at the end...it's okay. i truly loved it.amazing piece of cinema.
