Nowhere Special

It's beautiful, real, touching and very well made. It delivers lots of feelings and easily moves you without any forced efforts. Story is emotional, nicely written and flows beautifully. The father-son relationship is so beautiful and performances by Norton and the little kid are superb. But it's simple and slow-paced so don't see it if you're not into this genre.

Nicely out together film. Some very sad moments interlaced with touching scenes. The child actor is excellent and there is really well played relationship between father and son.

Not exactly a feel-good movie but nonetheless worth watching.

Sweet but sad film with a simple understated performance from James Norton, and Daniel Lamont as his son is lovely

Eileen O'Higgins also deserves a mention.

A film to remember and such a fine performance by James Norton and the little boy. A truly emotional journey and Pasolini's direction and screenplay are breathtaking.

I've always been an admirer of Norton!s work but this is him at his very best. Can't recommend it highly enough if you can brave the tears.

I don't really understand the negative reviews calling this film slow and underwhelming. I think what these reviews miss is how hard it is to tell a difficult story like this gracefully and without using standard tropes. Nowhere Special achieves this by never falling into the melancholy of the story, but rather using the sadness to highlight the small and beautiful moments in each day.

The central performance from James Norton is understated yet captivating. He does so much work with only facial expressions to convey the deep emotions his character is experiencing and his chemistry with the equally stunning Daniel Lamont was incredible.

An important story and beautifully told.
