The general opinion I've heard is good but nowhere near Hereditary (or people who think it's bad, but most of them thought Hereditary was bad and are thus objectively wrong), but I just watched it and it's goddamn amazing. Every single scene is beautiful, tense, and almost ethereal, the characters are fantastically written, and the overall experience for the movie is one of the best I've ever had.

I thought that Midsommar was alright, but I wasn't feeling Hereditary.

outside that one scene early in the movie, the rest of it did nothing for me.

I've come to the conclusion by now that Ari Aster and I have very different views about what makes films good.

Midsommar was a bit disturbing. Idk what it is, but parts of it stuck with me.

Me watchign hereditary:
ok this is fine, it's kind of interesting but not the mindblowing horror I was expecting based on the praise

Me watching midsommar:
OK so apparently this is just aster's schtick because Midsommar just feels like Hereditary painted a different color. I was bored.

Start with extremely dark familial trauma, add in the occult who prey on the traumatized protagonist. It's not badly made, but it already feels formulaic to me.

Definitely one of my favorite contemporary horror movies. I didn't see the shorter version of it, but the pacing of the longer cut definitely helped the movie to get under my skin. Blazingly white hot visuals, too. Liked Hereditary a lot, as well.

One thing the man does especially well is capture anguished screams, like from the mother in Hereditary. When you've heard a few of the real thing, that shit can really hit you.

Loved Hereditary, liked Midsommar. The latter was just a little too slow for my tastes.

Id rather rewatch Midsommar than Hereditary. I did like both, but Midsommar has more details to look at, and the entire setting is so captivating
It seriously is. So much incredible attention. To detail, and weaves a bunch of genres together.

The beginning of Midsommar was the best part. Still a great movie.

Never saw Hereditary, but Midsommar was mostly just shock value the movie imo.

Saw Midsommar and didn't really like it. It wasn't awful but it also wasn't very scary, and the characters all felt very irritating to me. I think the cinematography and visuals were good but that's about it.

Agree to disagree, but it is a well shot movie and I'm glad that the movie goes out of its way to make all the main characters unlikable so we don't feel bad what happens to them.

I loved Midsommar.
Hereditary was fucking garbage. The ending was so ridiculously bad.
