Middlesex is a coastal unincorporated community in Accomack County on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, United States. [1]

"Middlesex, Virginia" is the name of the main city in the film Donnie Darko , which was shot entirely in California. [2] However, the fictional Middlesex is actually based on director Richard Kelly's hometown of Midlothian, Virginia, in Chesterfield County. [3]
