THE MIDNIGHT SKY (Theatrical Release USA 2020)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.1|5.0 Starsìììì

The Midnight Sky—directed by veteran actor, George Clooney—sports good cinematography but fails to establish a clear storyline and seems confusing at times. The audience may feel like it is trying to play catchup. The natural potential for the creativity to manifest becomes lost in the movie’s lack of linearity.
