Vogue's taylorantrim reviews Midsommar, 'ariaster's gorgeous freak-out of a movie.'
, which was one of the most unapologetically disturbing films I’ve seen in a long time. Starring an operatic Toni Collette in a bad-mom performance for the ages,took your worst anxieties about parenting and family, threw in some child possession and demon worship, and just sort of made hay with your nerves. Beautifully shot, it announced the arrival of a major new horror talent in the 32-year-old Aster. People went to see it to see if they could withstand it. I did so twice.twice? Probably not.
Florence Pugh! Somehow, I haven’t mentioned her yet—and she must be the best actress not named Meryl Streep working today. As Dani, an American graduate student saddled with a stubbornly withholding boyfriend Christian , Pugh is a young woman vibrating with need. The opening act of the movie deals her a harsh blow of the kind that Aster showed himself ruthlessly capable of in.
