Critics Consensus

Ambitious, impressively crafted, and above all unsettling, Midsommar further proves writer-director Ari Aster is a horror auteur to be reckoned with.

Manohla Dargis

New York Times

After a while, an unproductive restlessness sets in as you wait for the characters to matter as much as the silky moves and painstaking details. Horror

Midsommar is a waking nightmare and I mean that in the best possible way.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

I was never, even for one second, feeling the length... I found it so unsettling and sinister. At moments it was a little uneven, but it's so watchable and gets under your skin in a really creepy way.

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

If you’re searching for a memorable breakup film—summer love rarely lasts—look no further than what Ari Aster offers here. Better yet, Midsommar would also make for quite a bonding experience when watched with a date…

Sure, it has just as much to say about our ignorance toward other cultural rituals (using Swedish folklore), but as a horror film about a failing relationship, Midsommar kind of broke me.

…’Get on with it’ would be a more appropriate title for Ari Aster’s glacially slow horror film, a follow up to Hereditary that repeats many of the same dread-inducing tropes but with a remarkable drop-off in terms of effect….

Rated: 2/5

This movie is brilliant. My complaint is that the theater falsely advertised a showing of the director's cut, but only showed the original.

One of the best horror movies of the past decade... maybe ever. Ari Aster proves himself to be no one-hit wonder. A masterclass in how to make your audience really, really uncomfortable. Beautifully shot. Incredible art direction and production design. Florence Pugh delivers yet another brilliant performance in 2019 (it really is the Year of the Pugh). See this movie.

This movie could have been better it started out dark got sicker and ended sick. I’m not into this sort of thing though.

Garbage. Pure tripe. Talk about a 100% waste of money. This was one of those "horror" movies that has a great setup, and literally no logical or movie-logic to hold it together. Don't bother. Really.

Not much more than the original but still enjoyable. Felt a lil longer only since I knew what to expect aside from the new stuff. THIS is the version to show a new person even though it's barely any new stuff.
