![]() ![]() In the terms of cinematography, it is one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. And early on help you involve in the world of the film, and in the experience of the main characters. Some of the shots shown are, at least in my book, completely outside the norm. And it goes a long way to explain why Ari Aster is being so buzzed as a new director. But the movie really takes off once they arrive in Sweden. ![]() So from the start you can feel that this will be a different experience from most horror films. The movie is long because it's not afraid to take its time explaining the background of the characters (the group of friends and particularly the young woman in which it focuses). But that quickly turns into a harrowing display of Pagan rituals and ceremonies. Briefly - MidSommar shows us a group of friends going on what seems like an idyllic trip to the Midsummer festival in a village in Northern Sweden. But if you don't mind a slow building narrative with tension, innovative cinematography and plenty of look-away gore, then you might be able to appreciate just how unique Midsommar really is. Which explains the amount of 1 out of 10 reviews here on IMDb, despite an overall 7.1 rating. If you tend to watch mostly popular movies or standard horror films, Midsommar is not for you. It is worth saying upfront that MidSommar should be a very divisive movie.
