“Midsommar” isn’t your typical summer horror movie. “It’s a horror movie, among other things” says Jack Reynor, who stars in Ari Aster’s “Hereditary” follow-up about a group of friends from New Yor…
Reynor plays Christian, a PhD student who is on the verge of breaking up with his girlfriend but stays with her when she experiences a horrifying loss. He reluctantly invites her on the excursion to Sweden. “It’s a breakup movie. It’s a folk horror movie,” Reynor says. “There’s a lot going on it.”Variety
He hadn’t seen “Hereditary” when he signed on for the movie, but after reading Aster’s “Midsommar” script, Reynor said, “This is something that isn’t really getting made. And then there’s Reynor’s full frontal sex scene. “I was advocating for as much full frontal as possible,” he said. “I felt like it was really important.
“It’s interesting to see it with an audience because particularly when that kind of facial expression emerges, half of the audience will burst into laughter. Like a nervous laughter, but laughter nonetheless,” Reynor said. “And half of them turn around and they’re looking at people like, ‘What the f—k are these people laughing about?’”
