Stunning documentary that has a perfect balance between being emotional, heartwarming, and funny. Characters really resonate with you and you find yourself dying to go to the school throughout the movie. Very well edited and well paced, with incredible camera work that makes you fall in love with Norway.

This movie starts out really solid, the first 20 minutes feel like a really good short film. The movie should've just ended there. Basically after that the conversation and conflict between characters just go in circles for another hour and a half. It's basically pointless. Movie is also very pretentious, with this black-and-white filter making it look all artsy but it's really just trying to act cool. The acting is pretty good, but nothing can save this movie from it's terrible pacing. It is very dull and feels like we are hearing words directly out of the directors mouth. It's more like an autobiography or a blog post than a movie.

Midsommar is a solid movie, it has an interesting story, good scenery, creepy tone, disturbing images, good acting. Ari Aster is very talented, though I do prefer Hereditary. I thought that this movie had a lot going on, and because of that it doesn't quite explain everything. See, there's a difference between leaving the audience with pieces to put together, and just leaving them totally confused. There are parts that just make no sense, and it also gets a little silly. Midsommar has a long runtime, but in my opinion, it's not a slow movie. It's pretty intense and well done, but a lot of the things are forced. For example, this whole argument going on between the friends in the middle is just so dumb. It ends up leaving you confused and underwhelmed.
