Atom User Reviews for Midsommar

Umm, crazy this is in mainstream theaters! Despite marketing, this is NOT a date movie. This is not a feel good dance around the maypole movie. This is one of the most troubling visual experiences ever. Uncomfortable. Powerful. Shocking. Graphic. Explicit. And you just cannot take your eyes off it. But in the end, you leave the theater feeling relieved you made it through but also disappointed in yourself for staying. Hands down one of the most unique films of all time. Acting was phenomenal which makes it even more disturbing. Think Wicker Man meets The Witch. You’ve been warned!

Worst movie i have ever seen in my life. Felt like stabbing my eyes with my straw. No one should be subjected to such garbage.

Really good visuals, and crazy plot. Gave me a Jordan Peele movie vibe, which is cool.

I wouldn’t given any stars if I was allowed. Worst film I’ve ever seen. Waste of my life.

Unsettling at its finest. If you are a fan of hereditary you’ll thoroughly enjoy this one as well.

My one star is for the fact that it finally ended! Please save your $$ and donate it to some mental health center...that’s where my $$ should’ve gone!

That's a no from me dog.

Didnt want it to end

Strange, yet familiar! Think Wicker Man, meets Hostel, meets Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery.”

This is the last time I'll see any written or directed by this man. I hated Hereditary as well

Very slow burn with no payoff

Worst movie ever! Pure waste of time in my life that I will never get back. I don't recommend.

Must see for the whole family!!

Horrifying!

stupid

Haunting. Don’t let your fellow audience members ruin it for you.

This was a great film! You have to go in with an open mind, don't have any expectations. Throughout the film it was shocking and beautiful! If you're the type who can't sit through a 3 hour movie and has a singular idea of what horror can be, don't watch it.

I had now expectations for this movie going in , but it wasn't low enough it did make me want to scratch my eyes out and make them bleed, save your money watch anything else / it's creepy, it's weird but not in a good way.

That was... a lot. Oof.

not for kids too much nudity and 1 sex scene

Dumbest movie I ever seen in my life

Still digesting. Movie had me nervous most of the time. I haven't felt uneasy during a film in a while.

very interesting and weird and confusing in the best way. very slow start. It's worth it to me especially if you want something original and something like you've never seen. it's not very predictable. it's definitely sinister lol. I would watch it again to try to gain more understand and possibly see if I missed anything. the visual on this is mind blowing and realistic in the most disturbing way lol

Second half dragged a bit. Could have done away with 30+ minutes of artistic imagery and made the film better. It lost me more and more as the film went on.

it was a great movie. surprised to see it in theaters though. not a typical film seen there. independent vibe.

Heavy. Deliberate. Well crafted. Shocking but not out of place. So many words to describe yet still not capture this very in-your-face film that is a puzzle to unpack all the themes and meanings but inevitably fun to do so. DO NOT TAKE YOUNG CHILDREN OR IF YOU TAKE ISSUE WITH VIOLENCE AND OTHER IMPACTING THINGS ::do research on that stuff if you are taking the family, as with any movie:: Loved the editing and color use and cinematography. Great performances from all as well. Liked it

honestly incredible and clever. 10/10 amazing. I loved it. had me thinking the whole time. I would love to see it again. I will definitely buy it when it comes out

Disappointingly dumb. Should have seen Stubber instead.

From the start this film hits you with some intense moments. There were parts that moved a bit slow, but you can’t expect a film to intense every minute. Acting and cinematography was phenomenal. Must see horror film!

Very good experience that sticks with viewer

I'm not sure how I felt after watching. Makes me not want to go on any trips with anyone. I was so confused.

Very weird movie. Was lost during the whole thing.

dont see with boyfriend

i dont know what to say...it was just odd..i didnt get it.

do not waste your time

What the hell did I just watch? I loved Ari Aster's last film, Hereditary. But this one was a bit top artsy for my taste. Visually a great art piece. Just not my cup of tea. *pun intended *

awful! so bad! dont waste money.

Is super intense! And mind twisting

Definitely Can wait for the dvd

Extremely disturbing !!! Not kids friendly. if you have mental issues DON'T WATCH IT! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED. One thing for sure, this ONE movie has been beyond crazy and sick! . I came out feeling guilty of watching it because is so sinister .

It's an artsy horror. Really beautiful cinematography. But that's not what I go to horror movies for.

Waste of time and money. Disappointed

Waste of money

Creepy

absolutely amazing such an intriguing story and insane visuals that really immerse you into he film. reccomend a 1,000% but definetly not for everyone.

Ari aster made this film to show you the perception of a normal human being drugged into coping with her anxiety and feelings that what should would ever think of doing would benefit her in the end. Beautiful scenes feels like a trip if you watch it .

Different for sure.

Ummm... not really what we were expecting.

too good

Don’t bring the kids, or your parents lol

If Hereditary was about being trapped, Midsommar is about the terror of being let loose, the giddy, sickening rush of freefall. You laugh at its audacity, or maybe just to keep from losing your own grip on reality. By the time it’s over, you can’t wait for night to fall.

More unsettling than frightening, it's still a trip worth taking.

Aster’s bold flourishes occasionally fall flat, but Florence Pugh holds the film together — especially when its plotting stumbles or its shocks grow predictable.
