Nowhere

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!

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.

7.8 stars.

The cinematography is what most stands out for me with 'Nowhere'. The seascape is frighteningly realistic and scary and at times I felt as if I was there. The storm, the desperation, the futility, the starvation... everything is spot on. The story itself and many of the details are obviously exaggerated and unbelievable, however what the movie does provide is something that feels authentic in its presentation and stimulates the senses. There is some gratuitous violence and partial you know what strewn about the film that was a bit troubling and slightly unorthodox, so I found it to be somewhat extreme. This is not a movie appropriate for a young audience, I'd say under 17 - view at your own risk.

This storyline has been done dozens of times, but 'Nowhere' measures up with the best of them. The dubbing is seamless and undetectable for us English speaking folk.

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.

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.
