Review of Midsommar (2019) by Discussionaqueo — 12 Aug 2021

This movie is bad. Everything was incredibly predictable... literally none of the "shocking" events surprised me. Not one single time. Also, almost all the characters are stupid and unlikeable.

Like the entire premise of the film would set off huge red flags if anyone suggested it in real life. "Hey guys, want to come to my commune in the middle of nowhere, miles away from civilisation?" To most people, this would sound like an invitation to get murdered by the Manson family.

But not the characters in this film. They're not even put off when they see two people ritualisticly killed in front of them. Anyone with half a brain would have left right then and there. They're also terrible people, for the most part.

The main characters boyfriend, for instance is not only a terrible, insensitive boyfriend, but he's also a terrible friend. At one point he tries to steal one of his friends academic ideas. When he died, I felt nothing as he totally deserved it.
