Absolute Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2020)

I can't tell you how many times my jaw dropped to the floor while watching this movie. Incredibly dark, beautiful, visceral, and life changing.
The directing style was so captivating, making you feel a slew of emotions. I was uncomfortable and angry and shocked and vindicated. The amount of attention to detail in every scene was incredible upon second viewing, and this is the exact kind of movie you are meant to see more than once.
I only wish I had written this review directly after seeing it because I couldn't get my mind away from this film for weeks. It's sticks with you and honestly it is changed my view in my day to day life.
Regardless of if you enjoy our Ari Asters work or think that he's pretentious, I still 100% recommend you seeing this film I'm keeping an open mind. I wasn't a huge fan of hereditary, but midsummer blew me away. It jumped to the top of my must own movie list and although it is a hard movie to recommend because of its dark themes, I still suggest everyone see it.
