Middle of Nowhere

This drama was SO well-acted that it almost seemed like a documentary at times. The story left me depressed, but hopeful they could both make a better life.

Ernest, sluggish, predictable, dull.

This movie feels more like a documentary than just another movie. It's a story within a story told by one narrator to another as if each were the interviewee of the other but without the permission of one another to publish the interview at all, so neither knows that it's an interview and not a quite conversation between two colleagues whose

I don't usually watch a lot of black movies. Not because I'm racist, but it's a culture thing. It makes me realize how blacks had to stomach white shows. I don't think blacks and whites realize it's not a race thing, but a cultural thing. Sad. I did enjoy this movie. Good acting! Loved the mother of the daughters. Nice story!

Middle of Nowhere is a disappointing film. It is about a med student who considers leaving her long-imprisoned husband for a charming bus driver. Emayatzy Corinealdi and David Oyelowo give horrible performances. The script is badly written. Ava DuVernay did a terrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture.

Great movie, great acting, and great directing!!!!

It isn't about race as much as it is feminist or exposé on middle class life; it seems strictly an examination of life without a man and a midlife crisis and thus it becomes very much about race in a rarely seen way.

Way too earnest to rise above mostly being dull. Toussaint is characteristically excellent and glimpses of DuVernay's skill are on display, but it somehow turns valuable subject matter lugubrious.

A woman suspends her life to support her imprisoned husband. There is without a doubt something profound, personal, and authentic about this film, which is to the credit of Emayatzy Corinealdi and writer/director Ava DuVernay, but the plot is plodding and slowly rendered. it's hard to make an exciting film about waiting, so part of the film's problem is the story it's trying to tell. Nevertheless, the film has important things to say about gender roles, race relations, and personal growth. Overall, Middle of Nowhere tries to rend the most out of its actors and story, but the film's pace ultimately dooms it.

'Middle of Nowhere' is Ava Duvernay's stunning, first major film. Duvernay's has a brilliant knack for directing actors and quiet, intimate scenes. Whether in a bus, a prison visiting room or in the bedroom, this movie breathes and lallows the story to be told patiently. There is a dinner scene in this movie that is quietly intense, well acted and finally powerful. This movie also has a poetic quality to it.
