Ari Aster’s “Midsommar” was the jaw-droppingly dark horror movie that, as its title suggests, took place almost entirely in bright sunlight. Released in 2019, the film found Florence Pugh’s grieving protagonist, Dani, accompanying her no-good boyfriend Christian (Irish stud Jack Reynor) on a boys’ trip to Scandinavia where, while taking part in the eponymous festival, things quickly go from bad to worse, per IMDb. At almost two and a half hours, “Midsommar” is a day-ruining experience that’s also strangely emotional.
Critics were effusive in their praise, with the movie achieving an impressive 83% on Rotten Tomatoes. As the Associated Press so succinctly put it, “‘Midsommar’ is a waking nightmare and I mean that in the best possible way,” while FilmWeek enthused the movie “gets under your skin in a really creepy way.” Although Aster’s sophomore feature was tough, as an audience, for us to get through the film was considerably more difficult for star Pugh. One moment, in particular, was grueling for the young actress.
