Midland

About This Movie

Midland (2015) feels like a slow burn, drawing you into a tense world of psychological manipulation. The atmosphere is thick, almost suffocating, as we follow a young woman who ensnares a man into her dark game of indoctrination. It's not just about the plot; the pacing is deliberate, letting the tension simmer beneath the surface. The practical effects are minimal but effective, heightening the unsettling tone. Performances, especially by the leads, are raw and intense, capturing the desperation and control that define their relationship. What stands out is the film's exploration of power dynamics and the fragility of choice – it lingers in your mind long after the credits roll.
