Revealing mistake: When the Hårgas begin eating their meal after Dani is crowned May Queen, there is a shot of Dani just after the Hårgas pick up their knives and forks where she is looking over at Christian. Sitting next to her is a woman who cuts her food with a knife and fork, raises the fork to her mouth and takes a bite, but there is no food on the fork. She is just miming the actions. (02:13:15)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When Dani is told to enter the carriage, she asks if Christian can come, to which the woman replies nay. Christian is then shown sitting down at the table. In the shot, there are three different glasses in front of him. The first two glasses are positioned right next to each other, and the third glass is further away from the other two. Just under a minute later, whilst Christian is watching the carriage ride away with Dani inside it, the three glasses are all equally distanced from each other. (02:16:55 - 02:17:50)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When Dani gets in the carriage, she hears some of the Hårgas throat singing and looks directly forwards. It then cuts to a shot outside the carriage where she is looking out of the right hand side window. (02:17:35)

Continuity mistake: When the female Hårgas are consoling Dani after she sees Christian having sex with Maja and they begin crying in unison, Dani's hair is tied back, but when it cuts to a different angle, a few strands of hair are suddenly hanging over the side of her head. (02:27:55)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When Pelle is being thanked for bringing the Hårgas new blood and their new May Queen, it cuts to Christian where he is shown looking at Pelle. Then it cuts to a wide shot where Christian's eyes are suddenly closed. (02:34:40)

Visible crew/equipment: When the Hargas begin taking the bodies to the temple, the scene begins with a shot of Pelle rolling Connie's body in a wheel barrow, before the camera slowly pans around to reveal other Hargas doing the same thing. Once the camera stops panning around, the dolly track can be seen to the left-hand side of the shot. (02:37:30)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When the man is teaching the boys how to cut the organs out of the bear, there is a bucket beside the table that is a foot or so away from the man. It cuts to an above shot where the bucket is suddenly right next to him. (02:39:40)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When Ingemar is watching Christian's body get engulfed by the fire, he is holding his hands together, with his fingers interlocked with each other in a slightly curved position. The shot then cuts to a different angle where his fingers are more bent. (02:43:20)

Casual Person

Other mistake: In the end credits, the cast is listed as "in order of appearance", but the cast are merely credited in no particular order. (02:47:55)

Casual Person

Siv: This high my fire, but no higher, no hotter.

More quotes from Midsommar

Trivia: During the feast in which Christian finds a pubic hair inside of his food, look closely at the drinks on the table. While the camera never calls direct attention to this, if you look closely, Christian's drink is very slightly darker than everyone else's. Earlier in the film, the camera briefly passes over a mural that depicts a woman collecting menstrual blood in a cup. (Along with the image of a woman cutting off pubic hairs, like the one Christian found in his food.) It seems Christian's drink has been laced with something he didn't expect.

Question: What happened to Dani? Is it assumed that she stayed there as a new member of the cult? Did they kill her like the rest of the visitors? It's unlikely they would let her leave after she witnessed so much murder and mayhem. Was this explained in the movie?

Answer: After having chosen Christian to be sacrificed, Dani's slight, wry smile at the end indicates that she has accepted the cult and is now a willing member.
