Alton Meyer is a boy unlike any other in the world with bizarrely powerful abilities and strange weaknesses. In the middle of the night, his father, Roy, spirits him away from the isolated cult that practically worships him and is determined to regain him at all costs. At the same time, Alton's abilities have been noticed by the US government as well and they are equally insistent on getting to the bottom of this mystery with Paul Sevier of the National Security Agency leading the Federal pursuit with his own questions. These rival hunts force father and son into a desperate run towards a looming date with destiny that could change everything.
Leave your thoughts about Midnight Special.
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterMidnight Special is a film with many virtues even if it leaves you scratching your head at all the questions it simply refuses to answer. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranMidnight Special announces the arrival of a filmmaker in total control of his technique as well as our emotions. A bravura science-fiction thriller that explores emotional areas like parenthood and the nature of belief, it's a riveting genre exercise as well as something more. |
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoMidnight 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. |
| HitfixDrew McWeenyThis is a very raw, sad, and beautiful film about faith and fatherhood, and it feels just as grounded and big-hearted as the other films Nichals has made. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeNichols’ impressively restrained yet limitlessly imaginative fourth feature takes its energy from an ensemble of characters who hold fast to their convictions, even though their beliefs remain shrouded in mystery for much of the journey. |
| The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyMidnight Special confirms Nichols' uncommon knack for breathing dramatic integrity and emotional depth into genre material. |
| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea Chasea boldly unconventional consideration of that elusive point where science and spirituality merge |
| Little White LiesAdam WoodwardNichols is the kind of director who favours the slow burn over the instant payoff, meaning that the high-tension, low-drama manner in which his modern-day parable unfolds makes the third-act fireworks even more dazzling. |
| Film Journal InternationalTomris LafflyWith Midnight Special, Nichols revives an E.T.-like magic wrapped in an original mood and minimalist style. |
| Under the RadarJason WilsonThose looking for a thematically rich experience about the nature of being a parent will get what they want. Those looking for a thrilling, science fiction adventure will get that, too. |
