Critics Consensus

Ambitious, impressively crafted, and above all unsettling, Midsommar further proves writer-director Ari Aster is a horror auteur to be reckoned with.

After a while, an unproductive restlessness sets in as you wait for the characters to matter as much as the silky moves and painstaking details. Horror

Midsommar is a waking nightmare and I mean that in the best possible way.

I was never, even for one second, feeling the length... I found it so unsettling and sinister. At moments it was a little uneven, but it's so watchable and gets under your skin in a really creepy way.

A breakup may have been the focal point, but Aster’s film delivers an enthralling statement about sacrifice and the cyclical nature of life. Midsommar is a totally twisted fever dream even if the narrative leaves a lot to be desired.

3/4

A motion picture so bleak that it makes the auteur's earlier film, Hereditary, seem almost as cheerful and lighthearted as Mamma Mia! by comparison.

Midsommar was everything I wanted it to be, and I had high expectations. It’s a breath of fresh air in the horror genre, and like Hereditary, takes a lot of concepts from older horror movies and melds them to create a new and compelling story for today.

This movie is brilliant. My complaint is that the theater falsely advertised a showing of the director's cut, but only showed the original.

One of the best horror movies of the past decade... maybe ever. Ari Aster proves himself to be no one-hit wonder. A masterclass in how to make your audience really, really uncomfortable. Beautifully shot. Incredible art direction and production design. Florence Pugh delivers yet another brilliant performance in 2019 (it really is the Year of the Pugh). See this movie.

This movie could have been better it started out dark got sicker and ended sick. I’m not into this sort of thing though.

Garbage. Pure tripe. Talk about a 100% waste of money. This was one of those "horror" movies that has a great setup, and literally no logical or movie-logic to hold it together. Don't bother. Really.
