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.

Surprisingly good movie considering the limited cast and location.

When I first saw the preview for this movie my first thoughts were 'crap', 'it's not going to be worth watching look at what it about and basically a cast of one actor' and in a shipping container, in the ocean. But you know what? It worked. I was really surprised but it worked. The emotion are triggered alone with the actor. You're on a roller coaster of WhAt! I'm really impressed especially to leave a review. I really enjoyed it, I have asked my children or my friends as yet if they have seen it and their thoughts on it.

But as I say, don't have any expectations when you go to see a film/movie and you won't be disappointed.

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!

For women who are pregnant, especially who are pregnant in the last weeks, please avoid watching this movie because based on my own experience, right when the main character's amniotic fluid scene broke, my amniotic fluid broke too and I gave birth the next day. Maybe because it's too emotional and delve into what the main character experiences. Then I went to the emergency room in the middle of the night and gave birth to my first child the next morning. I'm not kidding, I'm just warning you girls.

Honestly, I didn't dare to continue watching this film, even though I was quite curious about the ending of the story.
