So I finally took revenge on my boyfriend

Rating: 5/10 (28 July 2019)

This movie left me with the impression of having been written by a woman who is angry againt her boyfriend or husband and would like so much to take a hideous revenge on him. This pretty much sums up the movie as well. Dani is portrayed as a totally positive, innocent victim. Christian, on the contrary, has not a single saving attribute: he's a cheating, insensitive, weak, egoistic, liar and opportunist. Even worse, he forgets her birthday and how long they have been in a relationship! No mercy, no forgiveness is possible. Dani's closing smile while he's dying the most horrible death is her hideous revenge. It is her who condemns him to such death.
The story is pretty boring and can't imagine many to get enthusiastic about it. Maybe some angry feminists could see in the female-dominated society of the Pagan village a good proof of women's superiority, and in Christian's character a perfect example of male uselessness and inferiority. Actually, "The Wicker Man", from 1973, already exploited the idea of a modern Norse Pagan community in a horror movie. "Midsommar" is, anyway, beautifully shot and the score is very effective.
