Weirdly entertaining

Rating: 7/10 (10 September 2019)

I enjoyed the movie, although I could see how people, that even if they can endure some of the shocking parts of the film, may not like it. The pacing is slow, but to me it did not feel boring, it has its funny moments and the movie is beautifully shot.
I especially enjoyed the juxtaposition of the politeness and niceness of the swedes with the horrible acts that were happening in th cult. You can tell that they don't really see these acts as something wrong, but as an expression of faith, which made it for me extra chilling and real.
The main actress gave a great performance, but I felt that other than her the rest of the characters were one-dimensional and I did not really care for any of them.
Another issue that I have with the movie is that they leave unexplored what happened to Dani's family, I thought it was a wasted opportunity. The way how they played this tragedy I thought it would have more influence in the movie, but it was just a plot device.
