Midsommar

Rating: 4/10 (11 March 2020)

Following a family tragedy, Pugh, her boyfriend Reynor and his mates visit a commune in Sweden who are celebrating a special festival. They soon discover that it is not as much fun as they thought it was going to be.
Whilst there are undoubtedly a couple of shocks and distressing scenes, whether you buy into this depends on your acceptance of the various behaviours and rituals that make up most of the film. For the most part I found them rather silly and grew tired of 100 people dressed in white and flowers singing Kumbaya and eating endless meals very slowly. Pugh just about holds it together, but even she seems lost towards the ending which is hardly a shock.
Just not scary - watch The Wicker Man again instead.
