Center
Primary
The film's core conflict centers on a grieving individual's psychological journey and the exploration of extreme communal dynamics, rather than explicitly promoting or critiquing a specific political ideology. It critiques the absence of support in modern relationships and the dangers of radical collectivism without endorsing a political alternative.
The film features a predominantly traditional cast without explicit race or gender swaps for established roles. Its narrative offers subtle critiques of specific character behaviors and cultural insensitivity rather than a broad, explicit critique of traditional identities.
Secondary
Midsommar primarily explores themes of grief, codependency, and cult dynamics through its central heterosexual protagonists. The narrative does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or explicit queer themes, resulting in no depiction of LGBTQ+ identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Midsommar is an original film with characters created specifically for its narrative. It is not an adaptation, reboot, or biopic, and therefore does not feature any characters established in prior canon or history whose gender could have been swapped.
Midsommar is an original film with characters created specifically for its narrative. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous adaptation establishing the race of any character to be altered.
