Where to Watch Midsommar
- Garrett Wilkins−6 dMidsommar takes a premise that could have easily become a conventional cult horror film and transforms it into something far more unsettling and memorable. Ari Aster fills every frame with meticulous detail, creating a world that feels vibrant, beautiful, and increasingly wrong all at the same time. Florence Pugh delivers an exceptional performance as Dani, carrying the film's emotional weight from beginning to end and grounding even its most bizarre moments in something painfully human. The horror is often less about what happens and more about watching a woman desperately searching for connection in the aftermath of unimaginable grief. What makes Midsommar so effective is that beneath the rituals, sacrifices, and shocking imagery lies a remarkably sharp examination of a failing relationship. The film's nearly two-and-a-half-hour runtime won't work for everyone, and some viewers may find its deliberate pacing excessive, but I found the slow unraveling of both the mystery and Dani's emotional state consistently compelling. Rather than building toward a traditional horror climax, Aster crafts something stranger and more psychologically satisfying. General audiences may be divided by its length and arthouse sensibilities, but for fans of folk horror and character-driven psychological horror, Midsommar stands as one of A24's strongest releases.
- OdinTheRavenKing11 maj 2026## Synopsis A group of friends and students go to Sweden with their new friend to see a small town festival. While it is in a beautiful place, the festival turns violent as the intentions of the cult become clear. ## Review This was not what I thought it was going to be. I knew it was a horror movie, but it was way beyond that from straight horror. For a horror movie, it isn't about jump scenes or even a looming creeping thing in the background. It is a more based in a quasi-realistic story of something that could exist. Not because we don't know anything about people in Scandinavia, but more that there is a chance that some cult could attempt to do. I mean look at the craziness of [[Escaping Utopia]] and the FLDS groups. The horror is this weight of the actions and attempting to figure out what is going on. The story has so issues. So pretty big ones. The main one I have is the entire setup. The first act of the movie doesn't matter or make sense. I am going to spoil a bit here so please skip this paragraph if you don't want any. So the movie starts with the death of Florence Pugh's family. This comes up when her boyfriend is thinking of breaking up with her. After the events go down, she learns that her boyfriend was going to Sweden to do a anthropological study. The family days plays into a "bad trip," but that is it. There is also this plot of the friends not liking her and her going on the trip was a pity ask, but it back fires on them. After the first act, none of that really comes up again. It was a pointless start to a movie. The story at the camp really is good. It has this level of creepiness that just rides in the background making all the events have a more powerful impact. The logic and deaths of the first couple of people is wild. I was on an airplane watching this and my wife looked over wide-eyed mouthing "What the..." It was a wild time on the plane especially later. The whole pagan element actually is interesting and does show a world of manipulation and brainwashing. There is a lot of subtext in these conversations from the anthropologist and the cultist is so heavy from time to time. But it is only with the men that you get that that information where the time with Florence is more covered and hidden with the protection of women. There is no time where she is her own person it feels like. ## [My Rating] The story is completely the best thing this movie has going to it. It is also some of the stupidest part. The entire first act is pointless. The horror really is a low trimmer with a gore focused factor than scares. The acting is pretty good which I am not mad at. Honestly, Florence is outstanding really. I am really impressed with her performance. While it was entertaining, most of the movie is problematic. This is a 6 and I will die on this hill. ## [Parental Rating] Ooooh boy. An immense amount of language, brutal deaths, and a crazy sex scene makes this one of the easiest decisions I have ever made. I am not kidding about the amount gore and violence in this movie. In [[Vikings]] they do a Blood Eagle, in this they show the aftermath. The sex scene is also beyond crazy with full nudity of multiple people. It is wild. For sure not airplane friendly, thankfully I was sitting in a window seat. Rejected with prejudice by both my parents.
- MrMitchie11 oktober 2025Wow, I absolutely loved this movie directed by Ari and it's actually not the first movie I have been from him without knowing who the director was the movie I watched a few months ago was Beau is afraid which was also brilliant. I had no expectations coming into watching this movie and the only reason I watched it was because my daughter mentioned it's suppose to be a good dystopian film all I sat and watched it with her. And by gosh did it meet and exceed my expectations. This is a pinnacle folk psychological horror movie with some scenes that will make you say WTFFFF. Ari knows now to use signs effects and the sound track to create ambience infact I will go as far to say that how Ari uses sound as good as how William friedken in The exorcist used sound effects. This is definitely worth a watch.
