Featured reviews
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.

I like survival movies, like Open Water, Frozen, Cast Away, and others. So I naturally liked this one . The movie's biggest strength is its likable protagonist. The relationship between her and Nico is nice, and her actions / behavior throughout the movie seem realistic yet heroic. Overall, I was able to pull for her while watching . The movie also captures the terror of her situation. The scenes where she hears the wildlife at night are particularly scary
One issue is that I'm not quite sure about the backstory about why she and her husband Nico were seeking to escape their country (that whole subplot could've been conveyed much better). And the decision to make her pregnant is a bit of a drag. Instead of letting the setting be the primary antagonist, we have to deal with her physical limitations. At the risk of sounding cruel, the baby's cries become so annoying . There are some repetitive parts that made me a little bored . The nudity is gratuitous
6.5/10.

Not at all what I was expecting. A beautiful, heart breaking, gut wrenching movie. From start to finish, you are reeled into the story, and cannot look away. It is graphic and sad, unfortunately there aren't any parental guides on this site yet for the movie, but there is violence and nudity.
I wasn't expecting at all what the movie actually was, but from start to finish, the movie had me on edge and glued to the tv (I don't say that often). My heart broke for Mia, the main character, but the strength and love that a mama possesses are real. What a beautiful movie that brought me to tears in heart break and agony, but also joy.

I wasn't expecting much from this film just something to make noise while I do other things but I got pulled in by the actress Anna Castillo. I ended up being entertained and even shed a tear.
Is it totally realistic? No lol, then again I never expected it to be with such a premise but it gave me a good thrill which is probably the aim for movies like these. There's also this heartwarming element watching a mother push to survive for her baby. It may have been predictable but the ride towards it was rocky enough to not be boring.
We're outsiders so it's easier to nitpick what she should be doing so a good point for me with these type of films as well is for the main character not to be doing too many stupid things just to create some tension and they didn't do that a lot here. She had her moments for sure but her real schemes delivered well. Plus she's not being annoying and overly dramatic to sell the point. I'd believe someone in that situation will do what she did.
Overall a good survival thriller drama. Don't expect it to be realistic just watch it for what it is. A mother's love journey getting drowned in a silly premise.

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.

- TriviaAs of January 2025, with 85,700,000 views, Nowhere ranks as Netflix's fourth most-watched non-English movie after Troll (2022), Under Paris (2024) and Society of the Snow (2023).
- GoofsWhile this is an interesting story, there are many plot holes. The biggest of them would be a steel shipping container floating. While it is plausible that these shipping containers (some of them being airtight) might float, with the number of holes in the sides of the container that she was in, there is no way this container would still be floating all those days.
However, no evidence has been provided to support this claim, it's all assumption. The crate is a metal box which floats. Ships are essentially metal boxes which float.
