Speaking of Midsommar, I should probably say something about it, huh?
I enjoyed it, but the overall feel was just that it was a reimagining of Hereditary instead of a brand new thing, so I don't like it nearly as much. There's no gut punch because if you've seen the former, you know the progression of things and it's predictable. The way Hereditary was marketed, it being the director's big debut, and myself trying to avoid spoilers for it as much as possible, I did not expect to see the movie that I did (in a good way). I don't think that worked for Midsommar because the themes and progression are so similar that even avoiding everything, it still felt samey.
That being said, it's extremely well shot and the acting is all phenomenal and even if the foreshadowing hits you over the head constantly, it's rewarding.
