So much more beyond the surface!

Rating: 10/10 (17 January 2020)

In the recent aftermath of losing her entire first family a young woman flies to Sweden with her boyfriend and his friends. There they all take part in the midsummer rituals of a curious local commune and while everybody else dies, she's crowned May queen. The End of the so called "horror" movie.
But Midsommar is so much more! Surely, it's expressive as hell, but otherwise you could even say it's a feel good movie about the midsummer of life where the protagonist annihilates all the setbacks, which prevent her from maturing.
The suffocated parents, the boyfriend sewn in a bear's skin, her friends... they are not people, but rather her need for security, her dependence, her clinginess to logic, her arrogance, her romantic dreams. All of these must burn, so she could be present in that very brief moment when she's on top of life. After that unknown things follow, as suggested by putting all the control in the hands of unreliable forces like the "bipolar" sister back in the States, or the mindless oracle from the commune. Fear and pain also continue to manifest themselves, looking with big eyes and screaming. And it's all normal. Life. Breathe in, breathe out.
