Overall, great piece of art

Rating: 8/10 (4 August 2019)

To begin, I would like to emphasize how you might have mixed thoughts and feelings after watching this movie. Nonetheless, it is definitely worth watching.
The move starts slowly and you might think that it is more of the drama or thriller than the horror move. We are presented with most of the main characters at the very beginning of the story and there is a long period of time until we get to know others and their real intentions, so keep focused.
The color is done perfectly. The beginning of the movie is made in cold colors showing deep pain and personal problems between our characters. The rest of the movie is actually done in bright and vivid colors creating the oxymoron between what is happening in the scene and how majority of the characters are reacting to the events. It is luring us with the fake innocent atmosphere. Even during the brutal parts the scene is colorful, creating perfect feeling of discomfort that we sometimes lack in tense situations.
Midsommar is also full of symbolism and foreshadowing. I would definitely recommend watching it twice as you would experience it differently. There are many details that are going to help you understand why some things happened later on. You are going to be immersed in the the amount of detail that creators have put to create rituals and related events look legitimate. Keep attention to the drawings and dialogues.
On the other hand, I must admit that I was disappointed by the amount of fear I have experienced watching this movie. It is full of brutal and morbid scenes, but very few of them are actually going to scare you. As the story progresses the blood will just start to mix with other segments of the movie like dead bodies, narcotics and orgies so it all just loses its influence on the viewer.
Lastly, I believe that ending is too long and not explained well. The move would have been perfect if they spent more time explaining the ending and rewinding the scenes with "Oh that happened while the camera was turned off!" effect. Nonetheless, it has a great potential to become the classic like Shining with its original and definitely interesting scary story!
