Nowhereland

Strange tale of a hooker mother training her teenage daughter to the trade. A mother and daughter live together on their own. They barely make it from motel to motel, month to month. They are always having to compromise to live. It's a bleak story about the life one finds oneself in when one surrounds oneself with drugging and turning tricks. I know it might LOOK like this is a flick about Jessica Taylor Haid's body, but it's more than that.

This is by far the best Indie film I've seen in a long time. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was incredibly intriguing and had me through the whole film. The acting was great, and the plot was disturbing in the best way. An eye opener for sure! I've never seen anything like it, and looking forward to more from this director..

So sad but true. Could have gone many ways. I had several scenarios in my head but I do like to be surprised by endings

What can I say about this independent gem. Yes, it's a gem because you really got into the life of the 15 year old girl. Her life is just one piece of trash. Growing up with her mother isn't fun. Mother has no money so prostitution is the only remedy to earn money.

The girl has to wait in the car for her mother while she's doing it so slowly she also gets into the world of selling your body. Jessica Taylor Haid playing the 15 year old prostitute gives an excellent performance. It's was her first flick and to do all this stuff you see a big thumb up. There's a lot of nudity going on and some will be offended by it because she's fifteen of course.

Not a happy movie after all and shows the life of so many youth in the USA. No work is no money is no place to stay. Great performances, good filming and editing, okay there's a continuity fault on the beach with the girl her socks but hey. If that's all...if you find this and can stand sad stories then pick it up.

Don't you love being surprised by a film in a good way. Usually this happens to our dismay and we end up losing 90 to 150 mins. Of our life we'll never get back again. But when this happens in a good way you feel happy for the actors, writers, directors and producers etc. who all pitched in to make an amazing film.

Nowhereland aka. Girl lost is just that, A story told without apologizing for it's incredible reality of an underaged female teen coerced into prostitution. Purely brilliant cinematography this independent film packs a punch on all fronts. I sometimes felt as though I was merely a fly on the wall watching a real life couple. Not to say It was a reality show type of setting I am just stating how authentic some scenes were set up to be. It's the kind of film that deeply pulls on your heart strings as you watch it by being excruciatingly sad while simultaneously being entertaining.

Acting, pace, On camera charisma was all above par. And for that reason I give this movie a GREAT MOVIE rating. Please you should sit down and make some time to watch this film it is truly a good film you won't be disappointed.

Robin Bain the actress, writer and producer of this film should be extremely proud.
