Don't you just hate it when you're planning to break up with a girl and her sister kills herself and her entire family and now you're stuck with her.
You have a similar story to tell us?
yes
Get into your bear
And then she lets psychopaths kill you in a horrible way
@@BLVCKSCORP good for her
I always point that the people who think that the final was a happy empowered event for Dany are the ones who can be happily sucked into a cult.
Honestly this is what I got from the movie. I think dany as a character shows the weaknesses that allow cults to prey on people and ultimately make them feel empowered by the crazy shit they do in them.
She is technically 'empowered'. Dani finally found people who are willing to tolerate her, accept her, love her, most importantly, a community she *feels* she truly belongs. And yes, whether she knows it or not, her identity was assimilated by the cult.
@@afbriant They singled her out from the start. Dani was the one that the cult was able to elicit reactions the most and her emotional fragility isn't very subtle. Her rocky relationship with her boyfriend made it easier to sever her tie from the outside world
Probably they already are in one, they just dont know yet.
Do those people want to join a cult? Oh wait, they are probably already in one. It starts with F.
There were so many people who thought Dani had a “happy ending” and I’m like “how is being broken down and brainwashed by a cult happy exactly?” 🙄
Ask the Judeo-Christians...? 🙃

It’s this new thing called LEARNING. Once you LEARN more about something, you can make a better informed decision.
Like, if you stopped eating bags of d1cks, like we know you love to do, would you change your name from Richard to something else? Nope, you’d still keep eating bags of d1cks, like you do, with your same name.
Maybe one day you’d LEARN the irony of your name and your favorite food, bags of d1cks, and stop eating them. Did I explain that for you okay or do I need to break out the crayons and markers?
@@reddotsxul8166 Of course! Death is easy and too quick. No, it does something much worse. It keeps you alive and fills your mind with doubt, makes you believe that you need it and have to give it money, that it doesn’t need, or you are going to suffer for eternity by the very same hands that love you and created you. All the while, cherry-picking only the verses that suit the narrative and leaving context on the floor.
We have more proof of aliens, than most religions have of their religious icons and you don’t see SETI starting an inquisition.
With that said, I will gladly fight anyone that wants to stop people from wanting to do that. Just don’t make me conform to you.
Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk
I thought it was pretty obvious that the whole movie is about the main character being sucked into the cult and that the ending isn't meant to be positive.
Funnily enough...the entire Swedish population got dragged into a suicide cult, that is the swedish inmigration policies..and now, with the prospect of being the place with the highest rape statistics in all Europe, I'm pretty sure the guy being burned alive its a metaphor of the native swedish (particularly girls) who are poor enough to be unable to leave the country..And of course, Dani its the feminist swedish girl who got away with destroying their own country, and moved to Norway...where they are planning to do the same...for a sequel
Shocking anyone would be stupid enough to think that a tragically grief afflicted person getting sucked into a horrifying cult would be intended as some message of empowerment. This review is embarrassing

@@CellStudios55 How? The cult is not portrayed in a positive way.
@@matteomastrodomenico1231 I mean it was obvious.
The ending wasn't supposed to be liberating. Danny smiled because she had been manipulated to stay in the cult. It was a really horrifying ending, and nothing to celebrate over.
@@marcoreynolds9340
Maybe the movie is purposely critiquing that by making them that way?

@@marcoreynolds9340 ...Or maybe it's just a movie with bad ending?
Nobody ever mentions the awful fact that they have to trick people to come to them just to have sex and they likely do that quite often and kill tons of people after tricking them into thinking it’s an awesome oasis community and having sex with their women and kill them just so they get their babies, because they have become so inbred they can only reproduce deformed children like the monster guy who kills the prick and wears his face to kill the other guy.. so the cult must have realized this a long time ago so now they have to trick people all the time just so they can get healthy children. They probably got a kid from Christian and they have a new outside member and she will end up with kids too, and who knows if the two other guys that got killed had sex before that... they never actually say anything about it, but in my opinion it’s implied by showing the deformed guy and the fact how small/ how few people live in the community/cult, so they all must be related at that point and it’s why they all get excited about new people coming to visit... they have probably been needing to do this for a long time at that point, I’m sure the deformed guy wasn’t anywhere near the first and they probably had tons already die which was part of what led them to realize they were all too related and too inbred and had to resort to only getting kids from people outside the group, so they’ve likely killed countless people at that point, year after year to get their women pregnant and hopefully tricking new young vulnerable girls to join them, as they wouldn’t see the cliff jumping grandparents for a long while until they’d been fully a part of them, anyone they came with to visit they would lie and tell them they gave them rides home lol so any new outside girls would spend their first years thinking it’s a perfect community, and any guys that visited would get to have lots of sex and maybe they’d let them join too, at least at first and kill them later after using them... but who knows at that point. But anyway so I think they’ve had a perfect system of doing that at that point for so long that the only deformed person left alive is that one guy. But yeah it seems like they made this movie slow on purpose to build suspense, but it’s basically their only move, so they’re constantly using the same trick of going really slow in each scene to build suspense to the next jump scare or next creepy part, they do it to a point where the movie is just crawlingly slow dragging on and on soooo sllowww... they had some good parts and were so close to having a fantastic movie... I felt like they were just a few things away from that, but instead it’s a super super slow movie that drags on and on but the good scenes are just good enough to get lots of people to like the movie... but it just could have been so much better...
@@dannybeads3672 i feel like a fast-paced horror movie with scares and shit is good for some, but personally this movie did something that no other horror movie's ever done for me. The slow parts made me feel way more uncomfortable for some reason, and at one point I even had a very hard time breathing. I think it's ok if you dislike this movie, but a thing everyone needs to undersand is that the cult was never meant to be painted in a good light. The ending isn't a liberating moment. It's a psychological horror that leads you to a false sense of security.
The fact that some of you people believe that the film ended on a 'liberating note' is terrifying to me.
That means that the film effectively brainwashed you just like the cult brainwashed the vulnerable protagonist.
Movie: Is about a woman who is so emotionally damaged by the loss of her family that she would do anything to feel loved, to the extent that she kills her own boyfriend and joins a cult.
Critics: It's about female empowerment.
@@waynedas873 Then the brainwash has actually worked! *Noted~*
@@waynedas873 actually that reminds me of something. During the Women's right's movement in the 1960's a person the protesters used to as a symbol of female empowerment was Lilith. Adam's first wife who kidnapped and killed children. I don't know who though that was a good idea but it's hilarious. It would be like if for Pride Month they made Jeffrey Dahmer their mascot
The only liberating note would be to run through that village with a chainsaw.
@@admiralbyrd7047 *Why do I love this so much*
I never understood how anybody could’ve got there and not immediately thought "that’s a fucking cult"
Because drugs.
They knew it was a cult. They studied it and wanted to visit there.
@@storminmormn6283 they knew it was a "commune" which normally has a less negative consonance than a cult but a commune normally isn’t religious or into rituals and such while a cult is a little more hardcore so in a way they didn’t know
Because they trusted their friend that brought them there
Many northern Europe lost their old religion which was paganism bc christian came by, back in the vikings days, so there still people do paganism
The most horror thing in Midsommar are the human relationships among the protagonists
That's the point of the film
the most horror thing is how a grown man wrote that movie and not only did nobody tell him it was dogshit but they gave him $9 million to turn it into a movie and none of the however many people who helped create this dogshit excuse for "art" told him it was a disaster either.
@@bananabrain2996 oh yeah that part of the movie that is fucking unbearable and brings the entire movie is completely intentional huh
@@bananabrain2996the point of the film is watching characters that don’t behave like actual people?
@@0o0ooo0o0oo0 …The director said the film is essentially about a breakup.
I think the movie manipulated even some of the audience. To say that a mentally unstable girl got her revenge, that Christian's death was well deserved, that they like Pelle because he actually loves her...to hear all of that frightens me at how a vast majority of people really are not in their right minds at all. I think they would be easily manipulated into joining a cult.
Oh my God, you're actually right. That's freaking scary.
I never thought of that until seeing your comment.
That’s...the point?
Lol they have that hive mentality
Absolutely! It always trips me out to hear how, Christian was the true villain of the film to people.

I enjoy his thoughts on kids movies or action flicks and the like, but anything more demanding really is not suited for his channel.
Not really surprising that his core audience has a pre schoolers understanding of academia.
@@BigKnecht He's just an arrogant little sci-fi nerd who think he's got it all worked out. Scorcese and David Lynch had praised Midsommar, but Critical fucking Drinker and his fans are the real experts round here
I thought the movie painted a picture of how vulnerable people can get sucked into these things. And how people can and will take advantage of individuals who are deeply suffering (or cast them out).
And how the movie quite literally brainwashed us into “justifying” them killing the other people as they disrespected the cult, even though they were going to kill them anyways, and even with danis boyfriend they made us really feel bad (at least I did) for him at the end even though he’s such a toxic piece of shit lmaooo and then at the end to make it seem like oh Dani is happy she the queen! Yay! Good ending!
Right on. Good comment
the movie didn't paint that. that's just what happened. no critical thinking by anyone, even the non-vulnerable people. no actual sentient beings exist in the movie at all. it's just a bunch of arbitrary, scripted behavior that only feels authentic or deep to people with limited life experience and/or poor education.
@@pshceluver2899 I saw the ending more as the complete mental breakdown of Dani, she is not happy. She has just completely embraced her new madness.
Nah, it is the idiot plot. Actual cults promise an escape of their circumstances and many real, rich, intelligent people are vulnerable. In this one, all the people who went there are too stupid and lack skepticism or self-preservation instinct. The movie is so bare, people had to make justification for it.
I think Midsommer did a pretty good job of showing what it's like getting sucked into a cult. Beautifully filmed, I liked that most of the horror happened during the day, which is unique.
Are you not familiar with The Wickerman, a much superior film which Midsomer limply tries to rip off? Much daylight in that film.
@@teebeedahbow Yes, I've seen the OG Wickerman a bit too campy and disco porn to be terrifying 😆 But yeah it's a classic that holds it's own. Still prefer Midsommer. The cinematography is much better.
And the point of that was?
I don’t really understand the ‘cinematography argument’. I mean how does it’s looking good help make this movie be interesting or have anything to say about its themes or characters. I agree with CD here. It’s dull and lifeless. Wicker-man was at least genuinely sinister.
@@teebeedahbow Because of the nods to Scandinavian folklore and history. It's woven through the whole movie and brought to life by the camera. Amongst all these beautiful visuals in this film there are sprinkles of horror. It makes for a stunning contrast and a beautiful feast for the eyes.
The all white outfits would be my sign to leave immediately.
A bunch of white people out in the middle of nowhere gathering together for a burning whilst wearing all white...all that's missing is pointy hoods.
Its a swedish tradition to wear White outfits durning midsommar.
@@Beverworrior I don’t trust it
They just need to wear some nike decades and start passing out kool aide
Id pull in, and reverse right the hell out. Not even because I'm black. Just because NOPE!!
Guys, this is not how we celebrate Midsommar, just thought I'd put out a disclaimer, we celebrate midsommar by dancing around a giant cross made of flowers and getting piss-drunk from schnaps.

Despite missing the point of the film, which is understandable considering how nonsensical it can be at times, this review makes a lot of good points outside of that mistake.
So everyone saying this is a bad review because the point is actually about cult manipulation and not female empowerment is wilfully ignoring every other point Drinker made.
He is right: the characters have no motivation, they do just walk around and talk to people and then die, the pacing is so slow and honestly frustrating at times and its so dense in details it's hard to watch and understand what's happening which is not the mark of a well-constructed "modern classic."
If a film is made to be re-watched in a way where an audience can keep finding new details and new context, then fine (that's a great thing) BUT a first time viewing should still make sense then subsequently deepen from there. 'Sixth Sense' is a decent example of this.
I don't believe one should need to watch a film multiple times to understand what the creators were going for. Arty film or not, I think Midsommar got a bit caught up in itself and it suffered, but got away with a lot because the core idea is good and people will forgive just about anything "arty" as long as it has hot people and decent cinematography.
Exactly. People are just like "Oh, Midsommar has subtext, so all of its criticism is null and void". And that's not true.
@@jeremyusreevu237 I appreciate when a film has subtext that you can sink your teeth into but your film needs a foundation before you start adding layers
Midsommar is supposed to be dense and feel like an acid trip in a way, fine, but no one is really acknowledging that a good concept doesn't always make a good film
It's just an inferior version of wicker man. How can anyone top Nicholas Cage's screaming about bees?
"They walk around, they look at stuff, they talk to people, and then they die" lol!
Life in a nutshell
I would say the same for all horror movies. Here, let me give you a review of Friday the 13th “They go to a strange camp. They walk around, they look at stuff, talk to each other, and then they die.” - when dude said that I laughed too.
you can make this kid of summary to al good horror movie. But theres stuff like details, lore, all that good stuf
@@JohnnyFromVirginia well yeah, but Friday the 13th is a campy horror movie that alongside other pioneered the slasher genre, it’s not being touted as some art nouveau film with a higher meaning like midsommar is, that’s the difference. That’a why those flicks get to get away with generic plots, because they created them, this one is not good as a campy horror movie and it’s even worse when tried to be seen as a serious one to.
You forgot about their Swedish friend introducing them to people, over and over again.
I don't think his name being 'Christian' was an accident.
Nah, it obviously has nothing to do with the obvious, blatant Christophobia in Hollywood.
It was deliberate. The giant pyramid, the human sacrifice, the May Pole, the Cremation of Care, and the feminist message of abortion. This movie is about Illuminati worshippers.
I was just thinking about it, obviously is simbolism
💯
lastswordfighter none what abortion? There’s no abortion in this movie
Note to self
No longer watch his videos at the airport because I start laughing uncontrollably and everyone thinks I am crazy and might have a bomb.
I truly hope that the "get over it already" part was just a joke that I was true tired to register...
I must admit my interpretation of this film was that it demonstrated how a cult can break down the mind of a weak and vulnerable person to the point where they kill the person closest to them and smile whilst doing it. As it goes on, more questionable situations occur that the protagonist becomes increasingly accepting of which is the unsettling part. Not a conventional film by any means but interesting for that reason imo.
Unfortunately, as much as that would make at least a bit of sense, that is not what the director had in mind. He openly said that Dani is the hurt protagonist we are supposed to root for and Christian is the villain.
@@haneskuchar3998 fun fact, florence Pugh and the director ari aster had a big differing opinion on the ending; florence believing that its bittersweet due to the her being fully indoctrinated into a cult, and ari aster believing the empowering angle. I think its valid to interpret it in both ways. Sometimes a directors intent turns into something else. First time i saw it i thought the first thing, it was good for the character, she found a family. But a second watch and more thought it became apparent to me that Dani's vulnerability is key to why she's happy at the end, and why it's not a good thing
@@haneskuchar3998 lmao. No. This is so wrong. The movie was attempting to make you sympathise with the twisted insanity of Danny and the cult. He wanted the audience to feel conflicted almost as though they had been indoctrinated by their dogma
@@yertbert1211 I'm only repeating what Aster said. If you wanna tell me that the director was wrong about his own movie, it's of course up to you how you wanna look at it.
@@haneskuchar3998 you mussinterpreted what he said you donkey. You are supposed to root for them but the point it that you are meant to feel conflicted by the moral dilemma. Dumbass
the point of dani(?)'s character is that she's the perfect candidate for a cult initiate. Her parents are dead, her only connection left is her awful relationthip with christian, and to top it off she happens to be very agreeable and manipulable
She is her parents are dead 😵
@@ahabduennschitz7670 lol, rewrote the comment and forgot to delete a word
Indeed...that is the horror element. She joins the murderous cult. She becomes the monster. The whole horror of it, like in Wicker Man, is that the crazies win. It may not be for everyone, but the failure to mention even once what the movie is actually trying to do...
And that makes the viewer care about her why?
@@dante040 whether or not you care about her as a viewer is up to you
I was trying to cold-Turkey a drug habit when I watched a double feature of Hereditary followed immediately by Midsommar. Maybe it was the ultra sensitive nerves in my weak body combined with the waking hallucinations of a nasty opiate withdrawal, but these movies hit different at that moment. I felt every ping of emotional dissonance in this movie and the contrasting darkness of the opening scene with the brighter images of the festival left me haunted. So all in all I enjoyed it on a surface level but also felt a deeper connection to what was happening in my life at that time. What I’m trying to say is I actually liked the movie.
Cold turkey or not. Those are just really great movies. This guy has no patience for anything good. This the type of guy to give fast nd furious and transformers movies 10/10 because they scratch his smooth brain.

Yes! The actual movie is a bit too hyped, but I love it because of the many people who saw it and thought it was a good place and a good ending. Just shows that anyone could become part of a cult without ever realizing it until its too late. It's kind of fascinating.
@@matildeg.g.4262 In like 2 days when 75 percent of the time leading up to your character change you were horrified and a mess?
i don't know if she became bad, i thought the point of the cult and dani was that they weren't really good or bad
@@matildeg.g.4262 why wouldn't u want to live in this cult in midsommar. If you think logically. Dani is far happier in the cult, the cult is environmentally protective, they share in the pain. One may be freaked out by what the cult does but its a more cohesive society. BTW i'm not making the case for cults in general but thats just the logic in the film. Compare that to Dani at the beginning of the film, where after going through something so horrible is left isolated and unsure in a cold and sterile American world. The problem with this review is that its just him bitchinig about female empowerment narratives, seeming to suggest that people love that Dani breaks up with her shitty boyfriend.
@@joeshimwell1269 "Why wouldn't you want to live in the cult in Midsommar?"
Seriously??? You would want to live in a cult were they kill anyone who slightly indispose them or just because they need people for their rituals? A cult that knowingly attract strangers to use them as sacrifices?
I seriously hope you're not serious, otherwise you need help

Ironic considering how this was one of the worst reviews
@@willisstillhere8846 nah, he's right about it.
@@barelyprotestant5365nah he’s not
I’ve known three people who died like the parents/sister at the beginning of this film. One was a classmate in high school whose bedroom was above her garage. One night she came home, accidentally left the car running in the garage, went upstairs, and collapsed and died from carbon monoxide while brushing her teeth. The other was the bass player in my college band. Years after I had lost touch with him, he and his best friend made a suicide pact and sealed themselves behind a tarp in a hotel room where they suffocated themselves with gas masks pumping in nitrous oxide. The story was a minor national news headline because they left an envelope taped to the tarp with a huge tip for the maid service and a note that said, “Don’t look behind the tarp. We’re dead inside.” Like I said, I had lost touch with him; but one night I was just scrolling my news app and I happened to click a headline about a “bizarre double suicide” and as soon as I clicked it, there he was. The first time I had seen or thought about him in years, and it was by chance in a news article about the strange way he and his friend killed themselves. That was like a month before I saw Midsommar. So the beginning just fucked me up. It was so much more horrifying than a masked killer because I was thinking about the way these people I knew had died.
Rest In Peace To Them.
I really don't think the movie should even be classified as a horror. At most it's a low psychological thriller.
Me and several friends who are really bad with actual horror movies watched this no problem.
There are all kinds of horror movies, maybe you're thinking more in terms of jump scares and gore (which this had too).
Idk how someone wouldn't be horrified by the things happening in the movie. It didn't have a dark color palette or any jumpscares. It wasn't *scary*. But it is definitely horrifying.
It's not really misleading though, I think most people would know from the pagan aesthetics that this follows the Wickerman or Witch style of horror. The most misleading "horror" ever was the abysmal Babadook, that should never have been classified as a horror.
Yea, I would consider Hereditary, Midsommar, Suspiria, Lighthouse as "dreader" instead of horror. These don't make me scared but just just induce constant waves of dread and disturb imagery.
That's funny, I'm good with regular horror movies but the movie had me tense the whole way through.
I'd say it's a psychological thriller, and the way it handles suspense is totally unique. The way the people act in unison builds tension and mystery against its beautiful and picturesque aesthetic creates a contrast that makes the tension from the cultlike behavior that much more uncomfortable
Well I guess the voice in my head is gonna sound like a drunk Scottish guy for the rest of the day.... Thanx m8!

If I’m interpreting this correctly, the trailer mentions “longest day of the year”, but the movie takes place during the festival of midsummer. Those two dates are about a month and-a-half apart 🤔

My wife and I felt really disturbed after watching the movie. Not because it was scary or bad. We didn't find it scary at all. It was just really disturbing for example the cliff scene where you can clearly see them hit the ground.
That's exactly how it happened to me with The Witch.

@Adolf Hitler's Ghost Does this channel always reel in this many paranoid alt-right red pillers, or are you new here?
@Adolf Hitler's Ghost I have almost purged myself of their influence, porn is a hard one (half-pun intended) and malicious, and my talmudphone still kinda ocupies my time, but inam getting there. Stay strong my brother and never forget; it's always darkest before the dawn.
I had a completely different outlook watching this movie, i never saw this as some kind of female empowerment message where the main female character grows out of her shortcomings and ends up a better version of herself, Dani was never shown as strong throughout this movie, she started out as weak and dependant and stayed that way, she even loses herself to the insanity of the cult who she believes is her new family, they have succeded in manipulating her and turning her against her boyfriend, who, while he was not best companion he could have been to Dani in her moments of need, did not deserve the horrible fate that upon him.
I do agree when it comes to the characters being too stupid to avoid obvious danger, it was fairly easy to predict what kind of shit they had gotten into as soon as the double suicide happened.
It wasn't the best movie of 2019 but i found it decent, anyone with a properly functionning brain could tell the ending was not supposed to be a positive one (just like Hereditary's ending) and at worst it could be seen as a boring predictable movie.
See but, I think it's really easy to be sitting here on youtube, never having experienced something like this, thinking that moment should have been the clear queue to leave. First off, the dumbass character who pissed on the tree- he wasn't even there for that scene, so he wasn't going to leave over that. For Dani, and the two British friends who are- they DO want to leave after that, and they try. Dani gets manipulated into staying and the other two get killed. It's really just Christian the bf and Josh who don't freak out, but they're anthropology students, thinking they totally know all about this ceremony, and aren't they kind of bad ass for actually getting to see it. Whether watching the Stupah (however you spell it) makes them want to leave or not, they all face the same problem. The cars, that seem to belong to the two Harga brothers- not the British and Americans, are parked in a field, a distance away on a path through the woods that their Harga "friend" lead them on while they were still kind of tripping on mushrooms. It does seem there's a road, as the Harga allude to taking a truck into town- but we never see that road or that truck. We see the drive in and they're clearly miles from the nearest town, AND it's pretty light out 24/7, they have no cover of darkness to sneak away in. Lastly, they're in a foreign country with only the friends they came with, so they don't want to split up. Leaving would have been hard, and the characters definitely knew that. There's also the fact that none of us walk around expecting to get murdered. It's just one of those things that doesn't seem real, like it always happens to someone else. So, even if you see a ritualistic, assisted suicide take place in front of you- it's still going to be really hard to feel like YOUR life is at risk. After all, these characters see themselves as the temporary guests of a very different, long practiced culture, and they see this tight knit community practicing long held traditions that they, as outsiders don't understand and are not part of. They WERE told about the Harga's beliefs regarding life stages as well, if they were trying to think what risk the Harga might pose to them, they'd probably assume that since they were in the prime of their lives according to Harga ideas, and NOT 72, that they're heads are not on the chopping block. On top of that they've been told BY THEIR FRIENDS that they're visiting for a celebration, they've been looking forward to it for months, they see the overall festive, cheery clothes and music and games. And then there's the fact that the Harga are reassuring them, calmly, in total seriousness- that this is their way of life. There's the fact that Pelle and his brother- their good friends were so excited to bring them there, and they've brought them all this way- none of us wants to let our friends down, or accuse them of something horrible without proof. I think that actually, MOST of us would stay, whether because we were unsure what to think and how to leave, or because risk of danger from such seemingly kind, welcoming people- literally our friends and their families, would not even occur to us. I think that's part of what makes Midsommar so scary.
I know, at the end of the day it's just a movie. But one of the things that really haunted me after watching it was that Pelle and his brother could go out and live normal lives, make friends and be good friends with those people for years, make all those memories, have all those deep talks, be there for people...all the while planning to trick them into coming back to your commune to murder them in horrific ways. Some terrible people DO actually do things like that, but most of us could never. That's what would make it so unbelievable to think that you were in danger, even if your gut was telling you to run.
I Agree with you, but unfortunately the Critical Drinkers army of Incels on the Other Hand...

Christopher Jakel Nope, there are plenty of people that love the craft of Filmmaking that have been well aware of this movie, and are introducing it to others
… Okay, so I’ve never seen Midsommar, but I do know what exactly Dani’s sister did to herself and their parents. And… come on Drinker… “Six months later and she’s still whiny and needy. UUUUGH, get over it already!!”
Dude, I probably wouldn’t be over THAT horrid event in six YEARS, let alone six months.
It shows you how little he cares about family.
I probably would not have been done mourning the parents but she continues mourning her sister more. She literally murdered their parents. Screw the sister. I would be done mourning her the moment I realized she murdered them in their sleep
Wasnt that a joke? Cmon people.
I think that “get over it” part with the silly drawing was a joke though
As a joke, it was funny, but as a critique, it doesn't hold up
Thanks critical drinker you’ve saved my life, well at least three hours of it.😅
this review is complete bullshit pls be fr
I actually liked that the movie is not too formulaic, sometimes Hollywood movies are too templatey, and it often feels bland and annoying. It does have its flaws, but overall it's a decent movie.
Btw the real theme that is being explored imo is clinging to someone that doesn't want you, and the subsequent breakup that follows. He is burnt at the end because it's the girl's process of letting go of that person.
Except she fucking kills him ☠
“And then she turns into a flower pot”
LMFAO
Christian’s only mistake was that he didn’t dump her when he wanted to. Just goes to show you how much of a useless emotion pity is and that sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.
When you come into your own and want the pity of another human being, remember your comment.
Naz Shey sounds kinda incel-ish lol
AnAnomalousSmell
I will.
AnAnomalousSmell he’s not wrong though. As harsh as it sounds. In a situation like that its between dumping her there and then or stringing her along to both their detriments.
Real emotions different people.
She cries and freaks out as if her boyfriend died because he was all she had left. She felt betrayed by her sister for killing herself and their parents. And now she was betrayed by what she believed to be the last person on Earth she could trust. She then smiles at the end after bear boyfriend is burned alive because she now believes she has control over her own life and now a part of a "family" that will accept her for who she is.
I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one that thought that this movie was the most overrated film ever. The eerie mood at the beginning seemed promising but, as always happens in the movies of the last decades, the events and reactions of the characters are completely forced and ridiculous, so my suspension of disbelief always drops to zero. A stupid plot sprinkled with the most respulsive gory scenes, just to amaze the audience the cheapest way possible... Can't stand that people that watch a movie like this and thinks "oh, it's a very deep movie with a lot of hidden symbolism to be discovered".

4:42 she’s literally been drugged too, and coerced into this whole ritual thing, hardly an empowerment moment but more of a slip into some sort of insanity of an already traumatised person

7:00 she’s had her whole family killed and been gaslighted all movie, it’s a deeply traumatised character, what do you expect her to be like?

Hahah this is my favourite film I've watched multiple times and I found this funny. Tbh i think the main issue is you mistook it for a horror, Ari himself said that wasn't the best advertising. It's really a melodramatic drama and supposed to be metaphorical. It's a "happy ending" because it's not supposed to be taken literally, it's supposed to illustrate the intense feelings of ending a relationship and moving through trauma. It's still an incredibly narcissistic ending, but that's kind of the fun. As Ari said, it's a fairytale. You don't need to actually agree with the actions to experience that because it's just art it's not real lifem
You see, that comes back to the pretentious argument though. It's not just the advertising that says its a horror film - the film itself follows the cliches of horror films, every beat, from the murder of the ethnically non-white couple first, to the stereotype of the mentally disabled and ugly being the embodiment of evil that wears other people's faces to be normal as he kills people, to the victims being oblivious assholes that stay way too long in dangerous situations and the audience doesnt feel bad about - but all the while, the movie pretends that it's an examination of mental health and how someone can get wrapped up into a cult. The problem being that it actually isn't explored, and Dani is just shoved around from one position to another in the film, never actually making any real decision she's confident in herself. Even after sentencing Christian to die in the fire, the immediate next shot is depicting her, weighed down by the flowers the cult had put on her, as she's screaming in horror over her OWN DECISION and struggling to even walk ... before immediately smiling one shot later at the very end of the film with no explanation. It's worse than a bad horror movie that's pretentious - it's a bad horror movie that even fails to come close to doing the artsy thing it's pretending to do. And inexplicably, it's nonetheless convinced so many in the audience that it DID do it regardless.
@@heathrowell378 it's beautifully shot (watch video essays about the movie, and the attention to every detail), original (first horror movie using bright daylight to make you unease), well acted and paced. It's a masterpiece. I think you did not understand it, or just did not like it but man is this movie great. So was hereditary.
@@florentdevier If I had to give it any kudos, I would say that I liked the idea of 'a bright horror movie'. A movie where you're not sure, as the audience, when exactly it's 'safe' because the terrible things happen even when it isn't dark. Also the cultists played very convincing cultists. Everything else about the movie was a travesty though. And unfortunately good cinematography and supporting actors alone a good movie does not make.
I've seen VVitch and half of Hereditary though, and I think the worst part of everything is that they fall back on the same ... elements ... that aren't really horror. A horror movie is scary. This studio, this director ... they don't understand what scary is. They think scary is just whatever is gross and weird.
@@heathrowell378what’s “scary” is subjective… the things that happen in Midsommar are far more scary than any sort of of Blumhouse / James Wan popcorn horror bullshit. You can’t say something isn’t horror bc it didn’t scare you personally.
@@heathrowell378 I mean that's just your opinion. I think using the cliches of another genre as a vechile for an alternative message is great and as someone who has experienced mental illness and trauma it's the only film I felt understood me. I rewatch it for comfort because it makes me feel more seen than any health professional did. I get how it can come off pretentious, but by that logic every attempt at symbolism and metaphor is inherently pretentious, which seems kinda sad.

This movie is based on (but nothing like) the swedish tradition Midsommar (midsummer). As a swede, I don't know what tf this movie was trying to portray. We celebrate midsummer by eating classic food and holding hands while dancing around a midsummer pole and singing old songs. Midsommar has never and will never be celebrated that way. Not even during the viking era did people do this shit.
I just realized that I sound a bit offended, but I'm not. What I am is too lazy to change what I wrote, sooo...
Edit: Some idiots felt the need to inform me that this was a movie. I know that it's a movie. I've just seen too many people who thinks it's based on real events or that midsummer used to be celebrated with certain "rituals" present in the film. I know that it's a movie, but some people don't, and that's why I tried to explain that it's 100% fiction!
And for anyone who wants to complain about me writing "midsommar (midsummer)", you can fuck right off! If I hadn't written it, some dumb fucks would've thought it was a typo.
Na bro, it's reasonable, I'll be offended if someone took a nice and beautiful celebration of my ancestors and made it a total mess
This is just the eternal Hollywoodite attacking Nordic peoples as they have for centuries. If only someone with a funny mustache could've warned us about them...
It's called "inspired by" and mid sommar Is about celebrating Life, and death, they are unseparable
This movie is not about the real midsommar. It's about a remote cult and their way of celebrating midsommar. It is the same as sects that derived from a religion: they technically revere to the same god but they have their own beliefs and way of celebrating. In the end such cults look nothing like the religion they are derived from.
@@paulinebkl7399 Yeah, I know. Just wanted to clear things up if anyone thought the movie was accurate or based on true stories. I wouldn't really blame you for thinking that the vikings celebrated it like this.
