What did you think of “Midsommar?”
By 
I toyed with the idea of writing a review of “Midsommar,” but lately I’ve been feeling self-conscious about my writing, especially when it’s not “funny” and occasionally even when it is.
I thought it might be more enjoyable (for everyone) if I made a sort of “Midsommar” open thread. It can even be an Ari Aster open thread, if you prefer.
I see so many of the same themes in this film as I do in “Hereditary:”
- How grief effects people.
- How miscommunication can be devastating, even deadly.
- How alien and scary secret rituals can be.
I mean, there were so many overlapping themes in “Midsommar” it almost functioned as a sort of sequel to “Hereditary,” for me.
Overall, I loved the movie. I “enjoyed” it more than “Hereditary,” because while it was certainly creepy and trippy and bizarre, it did not traumatize me.
