MOVING MIDWAY ultimately takes on an optimistic momentum....Cheshire demonstrates how much about race and the South remains sadly foreign to the big screen.
Film Comment
Rating: 3/4 --
The details behind the actual move are the least interesting part of the film; far more compelling is the "history" of slavery as presented through a polished Hollywood veneer.

Rating: 9/10 --
Cheshire deftly interweaves different interpretations of the antebellum South, through architecture, family memories (black and white), history, and popular culture.

Rating: 4/4 --
In its 98 minutes, film critic Godfrey Cheshire's documentary Moving Midway records an amazing architectural feat, and that's the least of its virtues.

The myth of the Southern plantation incorporates and carries on visions of destiny and history, industry and identity.

Product Description:
When Godfrey Cheshire's cousin decides to move the family's ancestral home, a beautiful North Carolina plantation, it prompts him to explore the meaning of the house and the secrets of his family's bloodline. Laced with a good dose of Southern Gothic, this documentary follows Cheshire (a film critic) as he meets the African-American limbs of his family tree and confronts the continuing burden of slavery.
