Underdelivered

Rating: 1/10 (5 January 2020)

I'm all for a weird and shocking film. Give me a cult classic that is full of unpredictability and strange twists any day. I felt like Midsommar wanted to be that but the delivery and execution of it wasn't there. I felt as though they tried to think of the weirdest plot-points they could and relied on the shock factor, rather than elaborating and giving it substance. It felt as though everything was thrown together just to get a few gasps. There are plenty of unusual and traumatising films that also deliver on substance and story, but this isn't one of them.
