WGTC | ‘Midnight Special’ Review
We Got This Covered
Midnight Special will absolutely be that late-night kind of watch that more patient viewers will praise, but certain audiences must prepare for dragging, dialogue-driven dramatics with little scripted insights. The film kicks off with Roy’s escape, and never looks back – for better or worse. We move forward with the characters, but without really knowing why. Again, some audiences may dig this minimalist, every-questioning approach, but others, like myself, will only find drawn-out acts of roof-shaking curiosity stuck in a story without clear, honest meaning. The acting impresses and score rings majestically, it’s just a shame Midnight Special becomes more a chore than exciting, wholesome adventure.
