Nowhere

Nowhere (2023) presents an intriguing survival premise with a solitary character facing overwhelming odds, but it fails to maintain tension or deliver a compelling narrative. The film's minimalistic approach initially grabs attention, and the lead performance is commendable, carrying much of the emotional weight.

However, the plot becomes repetitive, and the pacing suffers from a lack of dynamic developments. The story's attempts at deeper emotional resonance feel underdeveloped, leaving the audience with little to connect to beyond the surface-level struggle.

While Nowhere has moments of raw intensity, it doesn't do enough to stand out among similar survival dramas.

This movie gave me mixed feelings after I finished watching it. It is a good thriller movie that keeps you stressed from its beginning till its end. However, it has its drawbacks and cons. My review will be neutral and summarised by mentioning the pros and cons of the movie, in my opinion.

Pros: 1. Good thriller that puts you under stress and keeps you awaiting for what is going to happen next.

2. The concept of the movie is exciting and painful at the same time. It is one of these movies where you fly with your imagination and make you think how you would react and survive if you happened to be in the same situation.

3. Good outcome of limited characters and space.

4. Some events in the movie were emotional and dramatically affecting.

Cons: 1. The beginning of the movie was too short for me to have my feelings engaged and attached to the main characters of the movie. I wish they had spent more time and gave more details in presenting the relationship between the main characters.

2. The acting of the main characters was kind of weak and did not reflect the magnitude of the calamity in the movie (facial expressions, reactions, decisions, etc.).

3. Some events in the movie were illogical and unrealistic.

4. Snickers advertisement?

Overall, this movie was not a bad experience. If you are looking for a movie that has the pros I mentioned and can ignore the cons, you will definitely enjoy this one.

My actual rating is 6.5, but there is no "half" on IMDB and this experience was more good than bad to me, so it got a 7.

This is indeed one of the best lost at sea movies I have seen in years. In fact, it should be in the same league as Cast Away. Through out its entire running time, I was almost on the edge of my seat. Anna Castillo's acting is prominently praiseworthy. Her rather natural acting has definitely won my heart.

The film has a fair share of tense, heart pounding, and many a time, breathtaking moments that are truly reflective of Albert Pinto's splendid directorial efforts.

Great direction, great acting, making it a great movie all in all! I'm surprised why there's a lower rating than 7? Watch it... you'll thoroughly enjoy it!

Nowhere is one of those movies on Netflix that you sometimes can overlook or watch and expect absolutely nothing from but I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised!

A Spanish production directed by Albert pinto tells the story of pregnant Mia fleeing a totalitarian country, who must fight for her life when a violent storm knocks the container in which she has been hiding overboard. Trapped, and alone Mia gives birth and is forced to survive to save her baby.

The film is taut, visceral in places (self surgery, giving birth) and quite moving in parts. One of the fundamentals of a good survival story is caring about the protagonist, you actually do feel for Mia and what would be a nightmare scenario.

This could quite easily of turned into a political statement about migration but refrains from the common, cliched Netflix approach. Some minor implausibility aside - would she and a newborn die of hypothermia, highly likely but that doesn't detract from the film's invention and mias ingenuity to survive any less compelling and heartwarming. If you enjoy films like cast away, the grey and other "against the element/odds" Nowhere should keep you watching right till the end.

Actually I like survival thrillers. This one is great to me. The production team worked hard definitely. We can see that effort in this movie. The woman in the lead role deserves a lot. Cuz she performed very very well. What an actress she is. The container sequences are really good. Actually I didn't get bored even a little time while I was watching it. Cuz it's so engaged. With a limited characters the film team has done a great job. We have to appreciate that effort. Although the story line is simple, the making is good.

Do watch this movie as soon as possible If you are truly like survival thriller movies.
