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..

Because it appears that we have a ton of experts in underage prostitution. "So real", "gripping truth", etc. But seriously, it's a dark indie pick that depicts desperate people trying to survive in a way-to-expensive California while never considering moving to somewhere else or doing something else. It does a good job of displaying a white trash attitude and mindset.

1st off, the young girl main character is very pretty, which doesn't hurt. The acting by everyone is decent and the characters and situations seem realistic. Location shooting is one of the strongest aspects of this film. However, I wasn't quite satisfied. If it somehow went deeper I would have given it one or two more stars.

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.
