MIDSOMMAR - I rented this because I saw Florence Pugh in Fighting With My Family and fell in love. Did NOT fall in love with this film. The opening was really cool. She showed her chops in what could have been an extremely awful boring introduction. Then it switched to Sweden and it went down hill from there.

The only good part was the sex scene. I've never involuntarily laughed so hard in years.

If you haven't seen this. FF to the sex scene, everything before and after SUCKS.

Plot Spoilers below for Greta.

GRETA - I got a two for one special from Redbox. This was actually a better horror flick then Midsommar. But, it still came up short. The one thing that truly annoys me is sane folks not doing the most obvious thing during a crisis.

Moretz's character has Greta stalking her. She does everything she should, and to no avail. Finally Greta goes nuts in the restaurant Moretz waitresses at, and is arrested. Fine. All this is perfectly acceptable in the real world. THEN Moretz goes missing. In a normal world, go to the cops. They didn't in the movie. They went to a private Detective.

It turns out, going to the police was cut from the movie, and is in the deleted scenes special feature. It was a moronic scene. Instead of saying "my daughter has a stalker who was arrested, and she sent us each photos making us think she was away". It was a scene about Moretz's sanity. Completely unrealistic and deserved to be cut. But, a reasonable scene should have been there.

Both were a waste of time.
