Florence Pugh thrillers. Sarah Watt, Jeremy Downing and William Chen discuss Don't Worry Darling (2022) and Midsommar (2019). We begin by talking about our experiences and reactions watching Midsommar, both the first time and any subsequent rewatching. We discuss the film in connection to Hereditary (2018), Sing Street (2016) and A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). We praise the films writing, structure, direction and performances.

We discuss the film in connection to The Truman Show (1998), The Giver (2014), The Matrix (1999), Mother! (2017), One Cut of the Dead (2017) and Parasite (2019). We discuss the exploration of sex, the range of characters and the logic of character beats.
