Incredibly disturbing horror

Rating: 9/10 (30 October 2019)

Midsommar is an incredibly disturbing horror that, is in my opinion, a huge improvement over Ari Aster's previous film Hereditary. Florence Pugh gives an incredible lead performance. Jack Reynor and William Jackson Harper both give great supporting performances as well as Will Poulter, who is very funny. It's visually stunning and beautifully filmed with excellent direction from Ari Aster. It's expertly paced with an uncomfortable sense of unease that effectively builds throughout. The music by Bobby Krlic is fantastic. It's only brought down by one scene that is very uncomfortable and distribing for the most part but briefly becomes unintentionally funny.
