“The Other Side Of Darkness” (** out of four) was a scattershot environmental melodrama about a young girl (Maggie Callahan) who receives a mysterious birthday gift that leads to her and her friends (Olivia Billings, Drake Tobias, and others) on a journey across the Midwest and uncover a sinister plot to dismantle and destroy America’s power grid. Earnest and well-intentioned story full of pro-environment values and morals but limited in its dramatic interest and emotional power. Callahan is good in the lead but viewers would best pick an “other” film.
