Well, theis was a curious watch..Midnight Special directed by Jeff Nichols (Mud, Take Shelter) starring Michael Shannon and Kirsten Dunst amongst others. Has anyone else seen the film? What did you think? The film draws comparrisons to such sci fi 80s classics as et and most notably starman. The film essentially tells of a father and son going on the run from both the government and religious extremists on account of the boy having mysterious powers. Like his previous films, this is another understated slow burning drama by Jeff Nichols (all action this is not although to say there is no action would be a lie). At its core its a character piece and to be honest, it doesnt really hurt the film. Solid performances all round and just a good watch.
