She expresses that they should leave multiple times, including during *the* night fight about the flowers... yeah. Both versions are really good but i feel like watching *that* scene afterwards is always a good bonus

[@Chiara_Elena]

What happens in "that" scene? I don't know if I could stomach this movie a second time 🙈

[@soniaiboyako4023]

@@Chiara_Elena The scene itself is on YT but maybe you'd rather read about it than watch it so here goes (it's gonna get long and i'm sleep deprived): I'm not sure if you want a description of the scene that sets it up so basically it involves the implied endangerment of a child but no actual harm being done, it feels more like a performance than anything but you can never be for sure w these folks and it's still distressing. That scene ends w Dani looking very rattled and Christian smiling, kinda fascinated. Then it's just them two and she tells him all of it feels wrong and they need to leave, he tells her it's only bc they haven't been exposed to that sort of stuff before and they need to get acclimated, she says she doesn't want to get acclimated she wants to *GO* and that's when she learns he's doing his thesis on this so he's not leaving either way. That prompts her to call them "opportunistic anthropology students" and question why they think the cult would trust them w any of what's happening since "they're doing pagan rituals, ppl are jumping off cliffs, they depend on no one knowing about this ever". Anyways then he tells her "i invited you and i don't regret that but i'm here for a reason" when not only did he find that reason like 3 hours ago by copying his friend despite him practically begging him not to, but he also was entirely banking on her *not accepting his invite* in the first place. She asks him if he loves her anymore, says that they've been in the devaluation phase of their relationship for a while and the next step is discard and he asks her to not look at their relationship through a psychology lens. She says "you've been trying to pull away and i've been in denial" to which he says very passive aggressively "please babe give yourself some credit, you've got it all figured out" even though she's literally right. He then says that her gifts to him only remind him that he's not doing enough for her in the relationship and he believes she has ulterior motives with them, especially since she gave him flowers on her birthday after he didn't get her anything. She asks if he's being serious to which he responds "okay fine, play the wounded party, again. you're just a self-denying altruist and i'm a paranoid dick. you don't have a conniving bone in your body". She asks what he thinks she's conniving, apparently he just thinks she is and feels locked into her debt every time she does something just because, he doesn't think it's ever "just because". She says she was being kind and he responds with "okay fine i'm the asshole" which immediately gets a "nobody's the asshole" from her and he says "i clearly am. you selflessly give me flowers and i feel trapped" and he walks away irritated while she's asking him if he's seriously leaving I think a transcription is already enough to get the picture but his actual tone and body language during the scene really drives it home. Hope this helped somehow

Just to move the ignorance out of the way, what yall are calling "jazz hands" is actually a pretty common alternative to clapping your hands. It's used a lot in the deaf community or in other situations where clapping isn't appropriate (mostly because the noise can be prejudicial to autistic people or even hinder the public's ability to undertand what is being said by a spokesperson). It helps to create a welcoming and more inclusive environment for everyone. In my country we use it a lot when organizing in protests, or other movements that require gathering and organizing a lot of people in an open space.

[@johnyesjustjohn]

Also, the one time someone claps in the movie, it’s in the face of someone on drugs, who freaks out when it happens. If you’re part of a cult where drug use is traditional, maybe you’d avoid clapping or other things that would startle someone on those drugs.

[@StupidFaceRob]

As someone else from the UK, it really isn't lol We don't get it being THAT light till around 10pm till about July. Right now it's light till around 7pm

[@MaxMXCrafter]

I’m really glad all of you realised how haunting this movies ending is. It’s scary how many people think it’s a happy/positive ending.

[@MaxMXCrafter]

@Maalmi Basset weird people

[@frankoceanstanaccount7126]

@Maalmi Basset A lot of people think it's a happy ending for Dani, but no...

[@Josh-dy4lq]

It’s easily because of how it’s shot, the bright colors, and the sun shining. People can’t understand the underlining meanings

[@ryancole4893]

I need a group of friends that will react to things with me like you all. Great reactions! ❤

[@00square1]

Pretty insane how the opening mural is literally a spoiler of the whole movie.

[@pittie565]

And it was considered a fucking "love story" ?!?!? Like what???

[@Karl_Drogo55]

@@pittie565 LOL exactly..eeeee

[@jazmyng2330]

I would love for them to watch parasite

[@sgirlwow]

(9:36) The 'period blood in the food that you give to men to make them fall in love with you' is also a thing we joke about in Jamaica as well. But in Jamaica it is the stew peas instead of spaghettis.

[@robert04872]

God I'm SO fucking happy you guys ALSO acknowledge "I can't wait to get back into the world". Fuck I just want to go back to Vancouver (I moved back to my hometown in Ontario) and see the people I love again and it feels like nothing will ever be okay again. And we're doing worse here than you guys. Thank you for helping get us through this by making those of us alone feel less alone.

[@dafty9159]

I enjoyed this reaction a lot! I love seeing you guys react to my favorite movies, specially when it's horror films lol

[@NotMakada]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Rana is the best Normie reactor.

[@DanteRU0312]

One of the greatest movies about religions/cults being harmful, completely with an idiot who says "It's THE TRADITION, we have no right to judge!".

[@Wonder-Ernie]

This is so weird for me, my dad has a video of me standing couple feet from midsommar stången (as we swedes say it) Andi was like bawling with tears I was like afraid of the women and men dancing around it now seeing the movie it kinda gives me a foresight feeling o_O

[@inium1545]

24:54 Had me cackling like an old witch 😂😂😂

[@beccageorgie1186]

This is one of those films that you wish you could unsee 😂

[@vidimeliala2228]

the girls laughed with her as she danced merrily. they also cried and wailed with her when her heart ached. it's about who you deserve to share it with, so she smiles in the end

[@kitadam1923]

The Normies: WE WOULD DEFINITELY TRY IT OUT. Me: *let's just finish the movie how about that*

[@AngelGroves]

Nahid : "I'm not gonna be okay...." ditto, Nahid...ditto.

[@osvvaldo5687]

They did a really good job depicting what a shroom trip feels like. The visuals were on point 👏🏽

[@JuQui228]

All the may queens are still there more or less. The guy who brings them tells them that Maia was last years may Queen.

[@queenk-ia2862]

The way the were moving their hands during the dance competition is actually how we use to applause in elementary school to keep everyone from getting too loud 🤣

[@MariothePlumber529]

I love how Ari Aster does things, Hereditary was even better

[@jayb4346]

This movie has probably prevented more vacations to Sweden than Covid

[@zeynabshjai9671]

that girl at 9:51 'you better watch out bro' had me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@christophersantos730]

23:57 “sounds like a **** fest” im crying 😂😂

[@MZ-bl6wg]

When the guy gets killed sneaking pictures of the book,..the Swedish guy is there , watch that scheme and as the camera pans he’s standing watching the whole thing, he was part of all of it . There’s also an amazing video about the meaning of this likening this to cults and it’s the best likening I’ve seen of all of it. The Swedish guy said his parents and family were killed in a fire, who’s doing this? It’s crazy

[@LaCheeserie]

Rana immediately identified she would be “sacrificed” and so spot on. She really was a sacrificial victim.

[@toniobroly6462]

Ari Aster is a genius

[@kennethbryant5819]

Damn, Rana was catching stuff I never noticed before and I've seen this movie twice. I saw screenshots of the face in the trees on the internet after the fact but I never caught it watching so good job.

[@brooke778]

Wow this is the best reaction ive seen to this movie. Everyone was very aware and attentive to the plot and the commentary was so endearing. Thank you for making this.

[@jasmine9581]

1:21 lol I was---just like my comment when this came out; I was just like oh uh congrats on the new family Dan
