See Midsommar in Theaters

Rating: 8/10 (3 July 2019)

I had the opportunity to see Midsommar at an early screening and while I think the film could end up being divisive among movie-goers, I still think it is worth your time.
I'm not 100% sold on this film, but I did enjoy it. It was intriguing and very beautiful. For me the highlights of the film were the cinematography, short composition, sound editing, and sound mixing. In terms of sound I honestly feel this movie is Oscar worthy. Florence Pugh also deserves some recognition. She carried the whole film on her back and that shouldn't be overlooked. Her acting was spot on and completely believable. I loved it and I loved her.
My main problem wasn't the completely unsettling events that took place throughout the movie, but that the storylines of the main characters felt a bit weak and took a back seat. I think I would have cared more about where the film went if we had a better understanding of the characters. I felt there was no clear character development happening.
Whether you love this film or hate it I think it's worth the watch. At the very least it's better than giving your money to a remake or a sequel.
