Ava DuVernay has a great filmography, with excellent movies portraying the black question in the United States. When they see us, 13th, and Selma are fantastic movies. However, despite also being praised, I did not like this Middle of Nowhere. There is an importantant core issue, for sure, and acting is good (I liked boy Nicky a lot, and leading character is convincing), but it is too sluggish, boring, with a lot of neither engaging nor meaningful scenes. Aesthetic melodramatic elements do not help either. It is made in a way as if in slow motion a drama could be more painful. Well, in another way it is more painful...
