Possibly unpopular take:
Midsommar is a comfort movie for me.
I KNOW I KNOW BUT HEAR ME OUT
It’s all about how grief and loneliness fuck you up, and my husband died on the summer solstice, so it hits a weird dark spot in me that makes me feel seen.

A good film.
Though man, I’m truly sorry if any of FWWM resonates with you. That’s a movie nobody should have to relate to.
I’m not saying any of that is OK.
It just… speaks to a piece of me.
I have seriously considered starting a keening circle.
But this would be nothing without the catharsis of retribution. That's what makes it such a brilliant film!
I worry about saying it publicly because a lot of people I follow have pointed out that the cult is pretty white supremacist, and I don’t want people thinking that’s the part I’m into.
Sometimes, you need to watch other people experiencing and doing very bad things to feel better. It's called "catharsis"
I found it fits into a category I've been enjoying more and more which is one of smothering dread. Maybe that feeling is like a weighted blanket? LongLegs felt like that to me.
Like the DC to Dr Sleep was ...
Dani has so much pent up rage and hurt, and it’s weirdly satisfying to see her just go insane.
But he really does make grief a tangible villain.
