“Dani is now being taken over by an invading sense of pride and contentment. This soon evolves into a manic exhilaration. Dani beams. She has been embraced by a new family. She is Queen. She is not alone. A smile finally breaks onto Dani’s face. She has surrendered to a joy known only by the insane. She has lost herself completely, and she is finally free. It is horrible and it is beautiful.”
Midsommar (2019) dir. Ari Aster
