Florence Pughas in the case of the comments written by Steph Green for the BBCwhere he points out that the film is too big for the protagonist.

He doesn’t feel quite up to par with the material here, with an ungrateful delivery of lines and a lack of contrast that collapses his two-handed scenes with Pugh. “

On the other hand, Kevin Maher wrote for Times that Harry Styles is “a big deal for the film “claiming that” it’s not funny at all, especially in front of (Florence) Pugh, who is a charismatic screen giant and with a natural gift”, Thus highlighting the great work of the protagonist of ‘Midsommar’.

Geoffrey Macnab of The independent describes, without detailing the story: “Jack (Styles) is a one-dimensional figure and the One Direction star fails to give him any hidden depth. Pugh is by far the most vivid and compelling personality in the film.”, Making a comparison with the protagonist, in the same way as the other critics.

Styles lacks charisma, ”adds Geoffrey Macnab to his criticisms of the role of the singer.
