Best movie of 2019

Rating: 10/10 (13 September 2019)

Midsommar can be described as nothing less than a masterpiece. Ari Aster manages to turn an idyllic swedish village and the beauty of broad daylight into one hell of a crazy trip. The camera work and editing was undertaken with painstaking detail. The actors, in particular Florence Pugh, gave Oscar worthy performances. The commitment these actors make to their characters (by god given talent) means that the development of their characters through a very short time period is done gracefully and organically. There is nothing forced about the acting in this film. Most horror movies can only dream of having this fluidity - but Midsommar is different than traditional horror movies. This film draws you in from the very beginning; the concepts and themes are ones that are extremely familiar to all of us. The emotional bargaining that you do with yourself throughout the film creates a true EXPERIENCE that stays with you long after the credits are finished rolling. I think it is quite sad, but also hilarious, that someone on this site has literally created dozens of accounts to bash this movie. Clearly not blessed with Ari Aster's scope of imagination and creativity!
Anyways, I suggest you see this movie. 10/10. Cannot wait to see what Ari has in store for us next.
