I have read Midnight's Children many times over the years and wasn't even aware of a movie version until today. It was with trepidation I viewed it as I have always believed it would be an extremely difficult story to convey in film.
My verdict is that it is a classic film done with much respect and love for the original story.The performances are almost uniformly excellent as are the locations and period set designs. A surprisingly delightful film in an age of so much dross.
