Midsommar

Watched the extended director's cut at the Alamo Drafthouse, so the rating in this review reflects the directors cut, not the theatrical. Horror movie perfection at its finest. I already had high praise for the original theatrical cut, so the extended cut already solidified what I thought of the original cut. These new twenty-something minutes make a world of a difference in the perceived relationship between Dani and Christian. Almost all of the runtime in the new footage is dedicated to building more on the relationships of our characters, making the ending more cathartic than it already was to begin with. The ritualistic scenes were as haunting as ever too. The score is both haunting and magical. Overall, this is probably the best horror movie of 2019.
