Review of Midsommar (2019) by Madmaxfuryroad — 05 Jul 2019

Having seen the trailer numerous times, Midsommar was easily my most anticipated movie of the summer. However, I went in with a somewhat neutral feeling given the negativity surrounding the film from audiences.

As I saw the film today, I must say that Midsommar was a pretty big letdown for me. The movie starts off really slow and pretty much never gets faster. Midsommar was predictable from the start, and a lot of the great scenes were spoiled from the trailer and an early script I had read online.

Personally, I felt the movie was overhyped, and it wasn’t as disturbing or scary as critics have described. Yet the visuals were stunning as expected, and the movie did have fantastic acting. At nearly 2.

5 hours, Midsommar felt really long, but there were enough amazing scenes to keep me entertained.
