Midsommar [movie]

THIS MOVIE IS EXTREMELY GOOD. IT DOES SUCH A GOOD JOB AT BEING ATMOSPHERIC. LIKE IT'S NOT LIKE THERE IS EVER A POINT A SANE PERSON WOULD EVER SEE THEM GOING TO A CULT AND ANYONE EVER GOING "I WONDER IF THIS WILL GO WELL" SO IT'S NOT A MOVIE YOU NEED TO WONDER IF THINGS WILL GO WELL, BUT IT DOES A GOOD JOB PLAYING OUT THE STORY YOU CAN ASSUME IS GOING TO HAPPEN FROM MINUTE ONE.

PS. MY FAVORITE PART BY FAR IS THE WEIRD UNDIRECTED SEEMING WAY ALL THE EXTRAS BEHAVE. LIKE IT HITS A PERFECT UNSETTLING POINT OF BEING TOTALLY UNCLEAR IF THE DIRECTOR MICROMANAGED EVERY WEIRD INTERACTION IN THE BACKGROUND IN SOME SUPER SPECIFIC WAY OR IF EVERYONE WAS JUST HANDED A RANDOM PROP TEN SECONDS BEFORE FILMING AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING. IT'S REALLY THE BEST PART OF THE MOVIE EVERY SCENE HAS PEOPLE WANDERING AROUND AND IT'S ALWAYS JUST TOTALLY INCOMPREHENSIBLE WHAT ANYONE IS TRYING TO DO AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY PERFECT FOR WHAT THIS MOVIE IS.
