Not an ordinary horror movie. What director Ari Aster makes in his films has to do with the world of nightmares, not the world of horror cinema, and there is a difference, the nightmare is from you and you, it works slowly penetrate your being. Horror is a fleeting state whose shock is mostly superficial. Aster films make hates it and yet admires, a strange equation. In Midsommar a nightmare of revenge for a woman from her "lover" for fear of falling into the void and into the arms of loss and loss again. Not better than Hereditary but it has a stature and presence.
