Director: Ari Aster
Cast: Florence Pugh , Jack Reynor , Will Poulter , Vilhelm Blomgran , William Jackson Harper
Plot: Dani and Christian are a young American couple with a relationship on the brink of falling apart. But after a family tragedy keeps them together, a grieving Dani invites herself to join Christian and his friends on a trip to a once-in-a-lifetime midsummer festival in a remote Swedish village. What begins as a carefree summer holiday in a land of eternal sunlight takes a sinister turn when the insular villagers invite their guests to partake in festivities that render the pastoral paradise increasingly unnerving and viscerally disturbing. From the visionary mind of Ari Aster comes a dread-soaked cinematic fairy tale where a world of darkness unfolds in broad daylight.
My Movie Review: The movie is almost out of body experience it was extreme in some levels! Midsommar is a masterpiece ready to unfold you might lose yourself watching it and be drawn to something else it has unpleasant effect that's very endearing to the point you can't believe in a broad daylight of festivities as tradition and culture can bring so much terror and sinister turn! There's saying once you see it you can't unsee it this film bring memory imagery that will stock and scare the living daylights beaten and smashed bodies are cut up and burned in base alive! The cinematography was on a high note from location in light, coloring of the cult members to their white linen costumes to almost-technicolor brightness of the sky, the fields and their flora:) Florence Pugh is the perfect blend of beauty and insanity her face is so open and transparent I felt her emotions through and through as she was trapped in big flower bonanza in the ending:) Jack Reynor is exposed never expect that coming, Vilhelm Blomgran is a mystery that creeps, William Jackson Harper is out of the Good Place and Will Poulter continues to revolve in films:)
Movie News: Midsommar movie makes Sweden look like a horror show for American viewers! The horror film Midsommar turns family-friendly Swedish festival into a cultist ritual but some viewers are having trouble separating fact from fiction, and that's a problem writes US native Madeline Tersigni. Director Ari Aster tries to scare fans with his sophomore film Midsommar, which takes place in Sweden during the beloved June festival. The film revolves around a young student Dani (Florence Pugh), who follows her boyfriend Christian (Jack Reynor) and his two friends to a Midsummer festival in a rural Swedish village. Against a backdrop of picturesque countryside and the midnight sun, it turns out that the commune is actually a cult and Americans are plucked off one by one by the sadistic Swedes as part of ritual Midsummer sacrifice. So far, so normal but since its release, the film has received interesting feedback from American viewers who have confused the film's antics with actual Swedish tradition, with Twitter users and Facebook full of people vowing never to set foot in the Scandinavian country!
