Through both his propulsive road-chase plot-engine and lens-flaring visual style, Nichols makes good on his claim that Midnight Special is a tribute to John Carpenter’s Starman and Spielberg’s Close Encounters Of The Third Kind.

“Midnight 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.

...en ualmindeligt vellykket film, der i sin blanding af afdæmpet realisme og sci-fi-mystik opnår et næsten Spielbergsk niveau af filmmagi og ærefrygt – og det endda med ganske begrænsede midler.
