Midsommer Movie Review?

The Coffee Shop

I’m surprised no one here has reviewed this yet. I would do a review of it but I’m still processing. But I will say: crazy but good. Very well done.The director, Ari Aster is a true artist who doesn’t cut corners.

But crazy.

I saw it last week. Two things:

  1. I will never look at Swedes in the same trusting way again

  2. I’ve been told I’m never allowed to pick the movie again

spoiler alert:

I think the director started off down a great path, playing up the anthropological, cultural differences angle, but then seemed to shift into all out horror-gore mode by the end, in ways that felt a little manipulative and gratuitous. It’s definitely one to think about, all things considered, but overall, I didn’t really enjoy the experience in hindsight, which is kind of the point.
