Midnight Special

…en något överraskande, men uppfriskande, utflykt till science fiction för en regissör som annars brukar stå stadigt i Söderns vardagliga mylla.

…en kosmiskt vacker och spektakulär sci-fi film som lär komma att göra avtryck i filmhistorien.

Through both his propulsive road-chase plot-engine and lens-flaring visual style, Nichols makes good on his claim that Midnight Special is a tribute to John Carpenter’s Starman and Spielberg’s Close Encounters Of The Third Kind.

...a tremendous film – narratively satisfying, visually striking, and with a teasing theological subtext, if that’s your bag.

“Midnight Special” respects your intelligence, letting you come to its themes emotionally instead of narratively. It is a breathtaking display of visual storytelling, confidently rendered by someone who understands the power of cinema.
