Florence Pugh and director Ari Aster’s Midsommar is probably one of the most beautifully haunting pieces of cinema that has ever been released. From the slow and methodical approach to horror through beauty to the anti-climatic ending, Midsommar truly followed in the footsteps of its forefather Hereditary.
