9. Midsommar
This is one of the most amazing, stimulating and fun movies
of the year. Yes, fun, because despite being sold as a horror film, the truth
is that the new Aster film is a personal cocktail that plays with elements of
terror but where there are moments of comedy and drama, as well as a reflection
on the couple. It is confirmed that 'Hereditary' was not an accident. The only
"but" that can give to 'Midsommar' is the excessive 147 minutes;
That
said, I am looking forward to discovering what is in that extended three-hour
version (perhaps small details that help digest the footage with more
pleasure).
This new Ari Aster movie may not reach the hereditary malrollism and
terror quotas, one of the best horror movies of the past year (and probably of
the decade), but it doesn't matter: his hallucinogenic journey into the bowels
of a Swedish spring sect is such an appealing mix of comedy and suspense that
we can only fall for it.
