It's weird. And disturbing. And weird. And certainly not for everyone.
It's about these American friends/ grad students - including one romantic couple - who accompany their Swedish friend to a Midsommar festival. Sounds like a good time and good material for an anthropology thesis. Well...

Turns out to be a big ceremonial observance thrown by a cult involving all kinda Pagan ritual sh*t.

I liked it 😳. So bright yet... SO dark.
And it's one of those movies that could be watched multiple times to see things not noticed before. Lots of symbolisms and camera angles and hidden details that make much more sense once the story plays out.
It's also hard to know "the truth" because the revelers are often tripping on mushrooms. Was it real? Or just a drug trip through one character's experience? Either way, I liked it. Talk about an "escape"! Maybe I'll watch it again at some point.
As I look out my window now, it's cloudy and dreary out. I could go for some Swedish sommar (without the drugs and offputting [spoilers]). Then I remember it's January. Maybe I'll go ride my winter bicycle to feel better.
It's pink.
Have you seen Midsommar? Like/hate it? Any wintertime movie recommendations?

This is curious. I don't know if I'd like it or hate it so I think I will look for it and find out. No movie recommendations because I am not finding anything I like these days.
I haven't seen it or heard of it, but I think I might like it so thanks for the recommendation!
I have to be honest with you - I haven't watched it and won't. Everyone is different. ♥
Peggy, I think it's one of those movies where people either say, "wow, I think I should watch it again", or "what the...?" and walk away after the first 30 mins or so.
Joey, I remember hearing of it when Avengers End Game was all the rage. We watched on our TV at home, but I heard it's even more weird to see it in the theater because of all the sunshine.
Chatty, I think I could honestly say that you would NOT like it! Please don't watch :)
I have not watched all of it. I made it right to the part that they take the mushrooms (for the first time, I am guessing?) and then I fell asleep. I woke up a few times to odd scenes, like people being grilled? Maybe I was still asleep and imagined that. I will have to start over and watch it when I'm not so tired next time.
Morgan, I had to think for a minute, "people being grilled?". Then, oh yaaaah!
I'm with Chatty Crone.
I feel so prissy when I read your posts of the various movies you've seen... and I'm not... or am I? LOL
