Average Rating: 
Rating: - Strange, but I loved it!
This is very strange to me but... The book on which this film is based is my all time favorite...The movie pales in comparison but I still love it! The film is certainly more fiction than fact...There were 4 trials...the movie lumps them together in one, the Cusack character is pure fiction and (without giving away the ending)this is not how one of the main characters ended in real life but Savannah is as stunning on film as it is in life! As for Kevin Spacey, well, he is brilliant as usual and Jack Thompson and Dorothy Loudon head a supporting cast that also included Jude Law that is just great. Now for the Lady Chablis. As a gay man I have always found drag and female impersonators just too much too take but THE LADY is just great playing of all people, HERSELF! Due to the lengthy time frame of the actual events and a host of eccentric real life people I think the book should have been made into a mini series but certainly on a cable channel so nothing would have to be edited...
Rating: - ¿This place is like Gone With the Wind on mescaline¿
Midnight is a great movie. I was pleasantly surprised by this movie as I am rarely a fan of actor-gone-director films. Clint Eastwood is pretty good though. Kevin Spacey and John Cusack are always at the top of their game, as they are in this picture as well. Clint Eastwood's daughter is even in this. She too, is very good. Spacey's character, James Williams, is charged with the murder of his gay lover. Cusack's character, John Kelso is a New York author who is down in Savannah Georgia to cover Mr. Williams' Christmas party, who then decided to stay and write a book about the story that revolves around the trial. The characters in this movie are great. The Lady Chablis, a drag queen and performer, is one of the funniest and vivid characters I have ever seen on film. She is wonderful and an instrumental part of the film. Sunny, Mr. Williams' lawyer is great too. He is animated and charming. This film has a great deal of that charm that is aforementioned. There is a wonderful feel to it. It is fun to watch as I have seen it probably about fifteen times now. I recommend it to anybody, especially if they like Spacey or Cusack. . . epc
Rating: - Midnight in the Garden of Less isnt More
This movie is basically a great travelogue for fans of The Book. It lacks the quirky whimsicality that Berendt so wonderfully wrote about. Cusack is woefully miscast as the New York writer sent to Savannah to write a party review. Fans of Kevin Spacey should love his dead on performance. His Jim Williams is perfect. Jude Law makes a breif but memeorable turn as bad boy/murder victim Billy Hansen. And of course, the Lady Chablis steals every scene she is in. If you love the book, you should see this film, mainly because practically every scene is shot exactly where it happened in reality. Savannah is a beautiful town and it holds up the best in Easstwood's rather boring adaptation. Because much of the book's subplots were left out, this would have made a great mini-series.
