As implied by the title of this review, i spent the entirety of this film with my mouth wide open in a sort of shock and confusion surrounding the events unfolding. Midsommar follows the increasingly sinister traditions of a cult and the outcomes of these. I think the best thing this film achieves is bringing that uneasy feeling to the pit of the viewer's stomach for its entirety which should be the aim of horror to make someone feel scared or uncomfortable. I feel it does lose a couple of points due to the wacky nature of the film meaning the suspense of disbelief is shattered at some points of the film. However, the camerawork and setting of this film are what really make it with the events on screen directly contrasting with the environment around them. I think Midsommar is certainly worth a watch however an open mind and strong stomach is required.
