Midsommar is Ari Aster's second Horror venture after the Iconic 'Hereditary', this time telling the story of a Swedish commune celebrating the summer solstice where a lot of weird rituals happen. A Master of Atmospheric Horror, Ari Aster once again creates a visually stunning cinema with the score creating an eerie situation. Grief plays a big part in Ari's storytelling, this time it gets channeled through Florence Pugh's character, who lost her family in a tragic scenario & is looking for a place to belong. She did a fantastic job. The group of friends that joined her, their characters should have been more fleshed out. Rather than the intense horror of Hereditary, this film creates an atmosphere of weird discomfort and it never becomes really scary at all. The layers in the storytelling are interesting to unravel, but its mostly the visuals that keep you engaged.
