Boring, pretentious dross for the critics to drool over

Rating: 3/10 (19 January 2020)

'Midsommar' is another example of why you should never trust the 'expert' verdict of movie critics. If you are part of the 99% of people that judges a film based on its entertainment value rather than as a piece of art, then don't waste your time on this pretentious rubbish. It isn't entertainment, just artsy garbage.
'Midsommar' is two-an-a-half hours of absolutely nothing. It isn't scary or disturbing, in fact its attempt at being the latter are more likely to disgust than disturb - some of the scenes towards the end of the film are vomit-inducing. The storyline is boring, the characters uninteresting. The storyline is so thin it could have been told in two-and-a-half minutes rather than hours.
The reason 'Midsommar' has gone down so well, particularly with the critics, is because it looks so good. It's stylish, artsy and, perhaps most importantly, foreign. I'm yet to find a film with the all of the above attributes that the critics haven't drooled over, no matter how bad I or the general audience thought they were.
