Ilan Preskovsky quote iconAll told I’m pretty sure Midsommar is fairly excellent if a bit flawed and a lot insane, but I’ll be damned if I can easily recommend it. I can say this, though: if you thought Hereditary and the Wicker Man were too tame for you, boy have I got the film for you! As well as the number of a very qualified psychiatrist...

Tomatometer quote iconAmbitious, impressively crafted, and above all unsettling, Midsommar further proves writer-director Ari Aster is a horror auteur to be reckoned with.

Jeffrey M. Anderson quote iconUnsettling, high-class horror movie is extremely violent.

Jim Judy quote iconwhile there’s dread and some truly disturbing and horrifying moments, I didn’t find those or the film in general remotely scary or frightening and thus this “Midsommar” trip feels a bit like a wasted opportunity.
