“Mid-Century opens with a murder and it all seems to be building to an obvious conclusion, and then a wicked twist slaps you in the face and changes everything. Does it all work? Oh, no, but you can’t help but admire its ambition.” 2.5/5 San Jose Mercury News
“Its concept is solid but its execution is so pedestrian and novice that I couldn’t help but think this is a bit of an edgier version of a Lifetime film. Not great and, considering the talent involved, massively disappointing.” trublu215
