Hunted by mysterious forces, a young woman (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) with supernatural abilities must go on the run when her powers are discovered.

give me the midnight special cinematic universe
karen h.Aug 19, 2019the entirety of the mcu wants what fast color has, and that’s superheroines of color, female directing, and stories flawlessly executed in the small space of 100 minutes
bethanyDec 4, 2019i’m actually mad at how underseen this is. and i’m mad i’m only just watching it now. it had the most perfect ending, and some of my favourite cinematography i think i’ve ever seen. maybe one of the most underrated films i’ve ever watched. all i can say really is if you…

This movie was highly emotional. Gugu Mbatha-Raw stars as a superhero on the run. All the supporting actors were great: Lorraine Toussaint, David Strathairn, and Saniyya Sidney. I loved all the flashbacks and how the mystery unfolded. Others may choose to see another…

aliyahJun 5, 2019I think, in some ways, part of the reason I've always enjoyed the supernatural, the superhero, or just the fantastic is that when you grow up just a little too fat and a little too afraid of taking up space, you're drawn to the things that show people also like you that…

very benevolent two and a half stars, classic case of "wanted to like it". good concept, tame execution. just a little too less, and i rather mean the potential of conflict and friction, not the (nearly entirely missing) action. it's just very cute, but nothing that can…
shookoneSep 26, 2019A powerful film about the generations of women who either have to hide from or arm themselves against the cruelties the world inflicts upon them. A beautiful superhero tale. I wanted to live in its colours forever. Don’t sleep on this!!
Sara ClementsDec 29, 2019Beautifully understated treatise on maternal inheritance, loneliness, and yearning that reimagines what a superhero story can look like by bringing the emotional terrain to vibrant life.

In the lead, Mbatha-Raw delivers a shaken, exposed performance that hints at the more familiar stories of domestic trauma (drug use, suicide, having to give up a child) that this otherwise super story might stand in for.

Hart and Horowitz's script connects the dots on the meaning and messages of the film, which is thrilling in its radicalism. But the execution is heavy-handed, sapping the joy of discovery from the film packed with so much originality, brilliance and beauty to be discovered.

Mbatha-Raw brings a fierce, quiet containment to the lead role, and Hart builds so much mood through her atmospheric cinematography and deliberately slow pacing that it nearly papers over the sketched-in quality of the script. Eventually, though, you start to wish her characters would speak in more than just vague koans and disaster-movie platitudes.
