10/10
beautiful but emotionally unsettling

Midnight Clear is a powerful depiction of the unhappiness that can befall any of us. So real, it can be unsettling like "Marty", "The Swimmer" and "Separate Tables."

The writers, Wes Haluha and Jerry B. Jenkins provide intense but terse dialogue like Burt Kennedy's "Ride Lonesome." Brutally frank and fascinating in its clarity.

All of the actors are excellent, although I particularly enjoyed Kirk B.R. Woller's performance. Sort of like Alan Ladd in "Shane."

Director Dallas Jenkins and Stephen Baldwin depict a suicidal attempt that will make your blood run cold. I love the show, and watch it frequently, but this scene is so real that I wince every time I see it.

Midnight Clear is an incredibly interesting movie but is not a happy one until the last scene. The ending is beautifully done and gives us the hope of a better day to come.

Be warned, the show is Christian oriented and people who find this offensive should simply not watch it.
