Most horror hides in the dark; Midsommar does its worst in broad daylight. Ari Aster follows Hereditary with Florence Pugh as Dani, a grieving young woman who tags along on her boyfriend's trip to a Swedish midsummer festival that turns out to be exactly what it looks like. It's a breakup movie dressed as folk horror, or possibly the other way around. We talk grief, flower crowns and bad boyfriends.
