Critics Consensus

Miracle Mile brings about its small-scale doomsday tale with achingly rich bleakness and hypnotically nightmarish fervor.

3/4

Miracle Mile has the logic of one of those nightmares in which you're sure something is terrible, hopeless and dangerous, but you can't get anyone to listen to you. Besides, you have a sneaking suspicion that you might be mistaken.

A fascinating storm, but also deliriously funny. [Full review in Spanish]

Miracle Mile is primarily a romance-albeit an existential doomsday one.

Edwards and Winningham are almost achingly lovable, and the supporting ensemble is tough to beat.

Shockingly terrible, but also amazing in its terribleness. Every person in this movie acts so irrationally and over the top, you can't help but be on the edge of your seat as the bizarre turns into the hyperbolic absurd.

Miracle Mile according to me is one of the most underrated movies made in the 80s. Starring Anthony Edwards(Goose from Top Gun) and Mare Winningham the entire film takes place in real time in the course of one night. It starts off like any romantic movie- boy meets girl and promise to meet for date 2 which never happens as suddenly there is a threat of nuclear war and a bomb being dropped. The sense of urgency, surreal atmosphere and fantastic pacing make Miracle Mile a winner and a film that deserves to be seen more than it has. Please see it and spread the word.

What a trash. The only way I could watch it is as a trash genre, but I dont really think that was directors first intention. And the acting wasbad, if you ask me. I was suprised to see all the good critics about this.

Gripping and engaging, this movie will keep you glued to your seat. A suspense film called real-time thrillers, apocalyptic film about mass hysteria and panic due to an impending nuclear attack....or not.
