It's hard not to respect the effort put into this low budget film. The narrative is a showcase for good performances and direction; dividing itself between two distinct characters. The supporting players on both sides of the story round out a varied and well chosen cast. The cinematography is particularly impressive, there are a number of night time scenes that look great.
Personally I was engaged (enough to re-watch it multiple times) because it strives to be something different - breaking any feel of convention, I never felt like I knew where it was going.
Compared to other films of this level, Midnight Sonder has a craft and voice to it that is seldom seen.
