David SimsJul 13, 2021Kevin Spacey is a suave member of the upper crust whose gentlemanly demeanour hides damning, decadent perversions and predilections. He’s also in this movie.
john semleyJul 7, 2021Based on non-fiction work of John Berendt, Clint Eastwood's Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is a strange but fascinating southern gothic part courtroom drama. Eastwood's direction is very laidback and far more concerned with mood and colourful characters than actual…

they really had the audacity to cast 90s jude law and then only use him for 10 minutes ???
lex 👻Apr 21, 202178 An unusual murder mystery courtroom epic set in Savannah, Georgia. Full of sleepy prejudices and a tension between old southern values and a community eager to re-define itself. Clint Eastwood once again confirming that he's full of surprises. Comfortably leisurely at…
SilentDawnMay 24, 2021“Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” is a crime film that falls victim to its own protagonist. At first blush, Clint Eastwood might have been an odd choice to direct a mystery that revolves around drag queens and voodoo priestesses. In fact, he proves himself adept…

One of Eastwood's more interesting formal investigations probably because it is so open, just a movie about performance and place. The narrative is all about social roles and the courtroom theatrics depending on notions of truth and the film's form follow suit. He most let…

The film is consummately professional but phlegmatic, a slow fizzle.

Listless, disjointed and disconnected, this meandering two-hour, 32-minute exercise in futility will fascinate no one who doesn't have a blood relation among the cast or crew.

Like the South, the movie is sumptuous and somnolent.
