These screams are guttural and visceral and bizarre, writes rachel_handler
Photo: Vulture, HBO and A24 As women, we are born screaming, and I’m pretty sure we all die screaming . In between these events, if we are not literally screaming, somewhere inside, we are for sure screaming; it’s the only appropriate reaction to being a woman and being alive. Unfortunately, our screams have been profoundly misrepresented for decades.
This scream is not cute. It’s a scream of desperation and rage and potential insanity, complete with a primal chest-beating and a low-key re-traumatization of Nicole Kidman. Watching it, I felt both refreshed and disturbed, like I had just jumped into a mountain stream on a hot day and found it full of human bones. There are several elements that coalesce to make it absolutely and perfectly fucked up. First off, we’ve got Meryl’s teeth, which are simultaneously tiny and gigantic.
The second cinematic scream takes place a few times over the course of a two and a half hour film, and is infinitely more upsetting and about 400 percent less fun than Meryl’s. Florence Pugh’s tour de force performance as Dani in Ari Aster’s Midsommar is built around this scream, a career-making yell that will haunt me for the rest of my days.
