MIDSOMMER (2019)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SPOILERS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

An Emotionally fragile Girl rocked by tragedy joins Her increasingly distant boyfriend and others for a trip to Sweden to watch the "Midsommer Festival", held once every 90 years. What starts to be an interesting and enjoyable trip slowly begins to go south.....

Reading IMDB reviews, this is the kind of film You will really like or dislike intensely. For my part, I quite enjoyed it. The film looks beautiful, interesting score and the tension slowly builds, although it gets a little too close to WICKER MAN territory. Long -almost 2.5 hours-languid, almost Kubrickian pace does pay off if You can hang in there with quite a few WTF scenes, particularly the scene where the "Chosen One" does his appointed task. ****1/2
