Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil Customer Reviews (31 - 33 of 40 Reviews)

Southern Culture on the Skids!
The beauty of Savannah is captured in this quirky tale of a wealthy gentlemen charged with the murder of his crass protege. The camera does justice to the elegance of the city, its buildings, homes, and park-like squares. Characters abound, in every sense of the word. Less would have been more in the case of Lady Chablis, Savanah's most famous female impersonator. However, Kevin Spacey was great as the central character of the movie, John Cusack was great as usual, and the rest of the cast was up to their lead. This is a film whose charm comes from its fine cinematography, interesting plot, and particularly the eccentricities of its subjects. Definitely different, and very entertaining.

An excellant story, very enjoyable
Midnight in the garden, was exceptionally well done. It was a thriller with the twists that keep you wanting to know more and gives you the satisfied feeling in a classic, vivid style. The acting was outstanding and the story kept you on your toes. Clint Eastwood did a magnificent job on Directing this project in a manner that sets it apart from the other films. The film quality was great as was the sound. The images of the South as well as the culture are magnificent and vivid. Spacey and Cusack are top notch, however Kevin Spacey did one of his best performances in this film, even though he does an excellant job in all his rolls. This was well rounded and had a bit of a Hitchcock feel to it. This is a fantastic movie that should be added to any collection for repeated viewing.

¿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. . .
