“Midnight Special” is one of those rare, stimulating creations that grabs you and penetrates your bloodstream from start to finish. This unique tale about a kid with special powers skillfully melds mood and story, giving the entire experience the feel of a thrilling getaway chase — one that you're part of, too. Director Jeff Nichols dares you to get in, shut up and come along for the late night drive down some desolate Southern roads where the headlights are optional and the mission is life or death.
