Midnight Special

Good film. Thrums with imminence all the way through - helped by the atmospheric soundtrack - and even had some shades of Melancholia albeit summoned in large part by Kirsten Dunst's presence, though it's a much tauter kind of sci-fi / hints of the end of the world type film. Nice to see Michael Shannon in a sympathetic (though by no means easily likeable) role, I also liked Joel Edgerton and Adam Driver, and that's the kid from It
