Review of Midnight Special (2016) by Paul N — 13 Feb 2017
Because marketers and movie lovers sometimes need categories to help them find things, this movie might get listed as a sci-fi or thriller, but really it's a story that is all heart. It is all about devotion, family, friendship, and especially fatherhood.
I've watched it three times and I know I'll never tire of its simple beauty. This movie, Take Shelter, and Mud have helped to make Jeff Nichols a director whose movies I'll watch just because his name is on them.
Similarly, this movie, Take Shelter, and The Iceman have helped to make Michael Shannon an actor whose movies I'll watch just because he's in them.
