Rating: B- -- It's a lot like a frantic attempt to get at candy in the middle. But there is no candy. It's just a Tic-Tac. And sure, Tic-Tacs are fine, but if you're expecting actual candy, a Tic-Tac may as well be a hot booger. Full Review

Rating: 4.5/5 -- In an era of remakes and sequels, Midnight Special offers something a little fresh and different. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- Midnight Special comes close to greatness is undeniable - its first hour is a deliriously inventive, utterly arresting cosmic thriller that keeps its cards very close to its chest. If only the final act didn't reveal its bluff. Full Review

Rating: 7/10 -- While the entire movie is exciting with incredibly realized set pieces, the love that the principle characters show for each other is what makes it a great movie. Full Review

Needless to say, when one of my favorite working directors tackles an emotional parent-child drama (which has its origins in Nichols' own experience as a parent), I'm going to respond to it. Full Review

Rating: A- -- Midnight Special is a bit of a slow burn but it builds a believable story that gives you time to contemplate what is happening. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- The heavens keep splitting to deliver forked tinsel masquerading as sci-fi lightning. Full Review
