'Shrooms and Storytelling

Rating: 6/10 (8 July 2019)

So... A24 studios needs to formally announce their own genre. Midsommar is not a horror film. It is storytelling. It's not bad, but it's not great - not great because this is marketed as a genre that it is not. This is a trippy story about experiencing grief, overcoming personal challenges and strongly grasping who you are in order to adapt yourself to a new beginning. If you're expecting a thrilling, edgy and gripping fright fest - you'll be sorely disappointed.
