Rated Midsommar 10/10

fuck yeah dude (had more then just a Letterboxd One Liner worth of thoughts on this one) while watching this one, after having watched Ari's latest film effort (Eddington), its so clear just how far he's fallen from grace. Eddington feels empty and soulless compared to how detailed this masterpiece is. however, I don't know if just anyone could create this detailed of a film. everything from the costume design, the sets, every story beat, every character arc, all of it feels so delicately crafted for this. the framing, the coloring, where the camera is, its everything. the runtime of roughly 2 hours and 50 minutes just blitzes through once you get settled in. this environment and whole concept is just eye candy, and ari does a great job at pacing us through this daunting and giant story. but FUCK i wish he wasn't washed man, like when this released this should've just been his "just getting started", but now I feel this will be viewed as his "Magnum Opus". Sure I'd agree with it being his Magnum Opus too but not out of choice. I feel like he's the kind of person that could have done something even Better and Better and Better. but Beau Is Afraid (2023) felt too lengthy and confusing and Eddington (2025) was boring and desolate. DAMN THIS MOVIE IS GOOD
