Critic Reviews of "Midnight Special"
Chicago ReaderApril 26, 2016Riffing on John Carpenter's Starman, writer-director Jeff Nichols has crafted a sci-fi chase film whose gravely naturalistic style adds to its sense of portent.
Detroit NewsApril 08, 2016Nichols has earned the right to take big leaps. Even if he doesn't stick the landing, it's a thrill watching him try. He, too, is something special.
Miami HeraldApril 07, 2016You watch helplessly as the movie goes off the rails, the suspense and excitement leaking out of the enormous tension the early scenes had generated.
Boston GlobeApril 01, 2016It all sounds terribly murky, but few filmmakers are as gifted at making you want to peer through the murk.
Toronto SunMarch 31, 2016The movie has its flaws, but it is nonetheless an intriguing sci-fi entry and an engaging story about family.
Graffiti With PunctuationApril 18, 2017About a month after seeing James Mangold's wonderful and moving "Logan" I was scrolling through the Netflix queue and stumbled upon a film that shares the same ethos; to project fantastical superhuman abilities through a very human lens.
Film InquiryFebruary 22, 2017Part sci-fi, part chase film, yet mostly a story about an unusual father-son relationship, Midnight Special is a one-of-a-kind experience.
Film Ireland MagazineJanuary 03, 2017While this film isn't great in and of itself, it does still manage to impress, and more importantly, it works as a sign of Nichols' potential.
Washington City PaperJanuary 02, 2017Whenever Alton interacts with anyone besides his parents, Lieberher's attempt to appear as if from another, more developed plane is more often flat and borderline silly than foreboding.
Seven DaysJanuary 01, 2017The southern landscapes give Midnight Special a down-home realness that compensates for the hot air of its high-concept plot.
Financial TimesDecember 28, 2016The heavens keep splitting to deliver forked tinsel masquerading as sci-fi lightning.
