Midsommar currently dominates Us 79–21
The flower crown buries the red jumpsuit — Aster's provocation overwhelms.
The Verdict Class of 2019
This matchup has 14 votes. The picture may shift as more people weigh in.
The May Queen sequence is a trap for the audience. Aster constructs two and a half hours of escalating ritual violence and then places Pugh at the centre of a ceremony that should horrify and instead provides catharsis. You want her to smile. You know what the smile means. You're complicit. Nyong'o's dual performance in Us is the more technically demanding achievement — two characters, different physicalities, different vocal registers. But Pugh's smile in the fire stays with you on the drive home. Nyong'o's scissor choreography stays in the theatre where you saw it.
