Ari Aster’s Midsommar took audiences on a journey of what a toxic relationship looked like. Dani (Florence Pugh) couldn’t recognize her boyfriend Christian’s (Jack Reynor) toxic behavior until she went on an unexpected trip to Sweden with him and his friends. Playing around with foreshadowing and poignant commentary, Aster created a cult classic horror film.Like Hereditary, it dealt with bizarre elements of unexplainable situations. The theme of grief was present in both films, but what set Midsommar apart from Hereditary was an added component. On the surface level, Midsommar focused on Dani’s attempt to overcome a recent loss by going on a trip with her boyfriend and his friends. However, on the flip side, it was actually about their deteriorating relationship. Instead of leaning on each other to survive, Christian and Dani were pulled in opposite directions, primarily due to Christian’s inability to be a good partner.Dani, a college student who had recently lost her parents and sister in a brutal event, was grieving. But she was stunted by her boyfriend’s dismissive attitude about processing it. Right before her family died, Christian had intended to break up with her, but the tragedy ruined his plans. So, he begrudgingly invited her on a trip with his friends Josh (William Jackson Harper), Mark (Will Poulter) and Pelle (Vilhelm Blomgren) to Sweden to partake in Midsummer, a festive celebration marking the end of the summer season.RELATED: Why A Haunting in Venice Embraced Horror in its Story and MarketingRELATED: Scream VI Faltered Where Scream 2 Succeeded
