There are no easy laughs or simple rom-com moments in Middle of Nowhere, but that's part of what makes it shine.

DuVernay, in just her second feature film, exhibits the skills of a master filmmaker.

DuVernay uses this situation as a light but poignant metaphor for Ruby's personal growth, as she finds a way to escape her own kind of prison.

Beautiful, evocative, and thoroughly heart wrenching, Middle of Nowhere is a stirring portrait of finding truth in love and vice-versa.
