I loved how this was shot, so gorgeous. I was so nervous for like the first 20 minutes of the film. I read spoilers, skimmed through the script, watched/read reviews btw (none of which ruined the experience for me). I expected the head smashing scene to be a lot more graphic. Still pretty wild haha. Florence absolutely killed it in this role. I really liked Pelle too, but I'm not sure if he genuinely cared about Dani or was just buttering her up for what was ahead. (both maybe?). Josh was fine, Could have done without Mark tbh, and Christian just sucked. The one scene I was confused about was the one at night where Dani watched someone drive off. I couldn't really make out who was in the car...Connie and Simon? But was it a dream then? A hallucination? Edit: Wait, is that when Simon is taken?
Also, it did not feel 2 hours and 25 minutes at all. I was like ''we're here already?'' when the fire temple stuff began. The corpses were pretty damn creepy too. They reminded me of those old glass clown/baby looking figurines if anyone knows what I'm talking about.
Yeah, that was a dream. It showed how tuned into the danger she was and how anxious she was about being abandoned and forgotten.
Gotcha. Thank you. I also read in here that Ari Aster mentioned that the film didn't cover all nine days of the festival which is very nerve wracking to think about what we haven't seen. I need to know haha
Damn haha. Hopefully there's more information with the extended cut or whatever they plan on releasing on blu ray
Starring Snoop Dogg as Josh's father investigating the commune but enjoys the drugs way too much and forgets why he came in the first place
I haven’t read through the thread as I just got out of this but it was great. And Ryan Key was sitting on my row! I didn’t say anything to him but I also hope he didn’t hear me excitedly tell my friend I recognized him haha.
i was talking to my wife a few minutes ago because i had an epiphany: “i just realized midsommar is swedish for mid-summer” turns out she knew. like since forever.
Saw this tonight, been up reading about it since. Lot of dense themes to think about, but that imagery was so beautiful. Christian had a heart, he didn't have courage, there was a line specifically about him lacking courage to be honest with Dani. Chidi didn't have a heart, he was very cold and analytical the whole time.
