Another chiseled drama from one of the most compelling storytellers in current American cinema

There are quiet evocations here not only of Starman, but also of sci-fi as diverse as The Man Who Fell to Earth, E.T. and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Wait, Midnight Special was shot n New Orleans? Well I'll have to see it soon then.
