Midsommar -7/10


SPOILER: show
Tension and cinematography are good but the films broad strokes are very paint by numbers. This i could ignore if it were for the issue of the films central point: Dani is burdened by Christian and she needs to "clense the evil."



For 3 years this character emotionally blackmailed him to stay with her and yet its her who is the captive based off...him not attending to her emotional needs? And that at its core is the moral of the fairy tale we have here.



Its a fine film as far as the tone it aims to set but as a piece of writing its rubbish. Clearly written by someone who had been hurt and hastly wrote through the tears to make a point thats selfish and tone deaf. The films true saving grace is its alegory is so muddled that most viewers wont even catch the story at all.
