...Very fine....A MIDNIGHT CLEAR looks gorgeous without being pretty. It's anything but...
New York Times
4 stars out of 5 -- A young, then-unknown cast -- Ethan Hawke, Gary Sinise, Kevin Dillon, Peter Berg -- impress, and Gordon treats his material with appreciative respect.

This film about a real incident that occurred near the end of World War II is involving, always focused and affectingly acted.

The sentiments aren`t fresh, but the skill of the writing and a superior ensemble American cast makes the drama memorable.

...[A] haunting parable...
Chicago Sun-Times
It's so determined to be haunting that it gives up the ghost.

Product Description:
In 1944, a six-man American intelligence and reconnaissance unit is sent by their reckless major on a mission in a remote part of the Ardennes forest on the German front. Isolated in a remote villa in the dead of winter, they wind up developing a cryptic relationship with a small band of German soldiers nearby who've all but given up on the war effort. The disillusioned soldiers come face-to-face with one another in a beautifully filmed series of events, sharing Christmas carols, snowball fights, and a mutual desire to stay alive. Ethan Hawke stars as Will Knot, the young leader of the American unit who agrees to fake a battle with the German soldiers, who want to surrender peaceably but save their reputation. The cast includes Gary Sinise, Peter Berg, Kevin Dillon, Arye Gross, and Frank Whaley as Will's fellow recon officers. Against the hauntingly beautiful landscape of the Alpine tundra, the young men must face their darkest fears while trying to escape the horrors of war. This powerful and quietly stylish ensemble drama features lyrically beautiful voice-overs delivered by Hawke as he questions the validity of war and his spiritual place in the world. The film is based on the autobiographical novel by William Wharton.
