Midsommar
A 50-word critique.
Ari Aster does it again.
Skip the popcorn because you'll want to vomit at 1 hour, 1 minute, 37 seconds in.
Watch in horror as this Midsommer night's terror takes viewers on a psychedelic journey, with an all-included burning bear.
Florence Pugh deserves financial compensation, and honestly, so don't I.

Congrats on your leaderboard recognition Ashley!😊
LOL...read this the other day and meant to come back like and all that. From what I've heard of the film, as I've yet to see it (I know so so so so slow), you've nailed it haha! I like Ari Aster and love the trailers to his films or films he's involved in because they always hide a ton of crap haha! Well done on this awesome entry, Ashley
This was great
The skip the popcorn line was 🤌! Nice work.
Excellent work. Looking to read another write up!
Florence Pugh is one hell of an actress. But Midsommar is one of the weirdest movies I have ever watched. Doesn't beat Infinite Pool in the weird department, though. LOL! Your review is excellent!
Great- Congratulations on your Top Story 🎉🎉🎉✨🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love your review. It’s absolutely spot on! Terrifying movie. I’m psychologically scarred from watching this film! 😳
Excellent review. I love how the last sentence can be interpreted both ways. I was just checking out what's available on Amazon and they list Midsommar as available through one of their channels that I'd need to subscribe to. I guess I'm not doing that :).
Love this! Just reaffirms my decision to never watch this movie. Great work!
Loved this critique! Congrats on your TOP STORY!
Your critique is so descriptive that I already know I'll be skipping viewing this. Congratulations on Top Story!
Marvelous critique!!! Congratulations on Top Story!!!❤️❤️💕
I’ve read much longer reviews that never got to the point. From what I know of it- this is dead on.
Lol so I only saw a couple scenes from this and omg already need some compensation! 😂
I love Florence so much and I admire her acting in this film. But I agree with your assessment that this film is very grotesque. Great work
It sounds good but I'm terrible with horror movies. Love the critique though!
I haven't seen this one, but your review made me lol. Congrats on the TS
Well, now I've got to watch it. I'm not sure why I haven't.
Loved your review, even though I’ll never see this one. I can’t do horror, but your thoughts made me laugh. Great work and congrats on top story!
I always put off watching this, despite it being highly recommended. I like to watch things that are lighthearted most of the time, and even American Horror Story can be pretty damn funny. But the person who insisted I watch this knows I love Antichrist, another disturbing horror film. I enjoyed your review and congrats on Top Story. 🥂
Thanks! I’m still at work so I’ll post it tomorrow. Good night.
BTW since you’re the only one to read Unmitigated Greed, I was thinking about posting the next couple of chapters if you’re interested.. No worries if you’re not, just let me know.
I’ve never heard of it
Sooo I guess this isn’t one of your favorite reads? I probably wouldn’t have read it anyway.
