Incredible and symbolic

Rating: 10/10 (8 September 2019)

Midsommar has absolutely blown me away. It literally tells you what's happening in the foreshadowing in the background before you see it. The way you watch the two main "love birds" as she watches him and he is always looking elsewhere, at a door, at another woman.. They are literally showing the story with hidden visual hints and I absolutely adore it. If you have an interest in European paganism throughout history it might also clue you in on some key factors coming up. The acting was also beautifully done. Florence stood out wonderfully! I see a lot of negative reviews on here, but I can only say they must have a small mind. It's not a horror movie for its jump scares, it's a horror movie for its tension building, it's realising the main characters are actually the bad guys here in a way, it's the profoundness. I would recommend it if you liked movies such as The VVitch and Hereditary. Don't listen to the small minded reviews on here who need cheep thrills.
