Nowhere is another survival film… or maybe unlikely predicament film. I’m not sure if there’s an actual name for the sub-genre of these survival in unlikely circumstances movies. I think I’ll call them Predicament Films until I hear otherwise.

Anyhoo, Nowhere is about a very (very) pregnant refugee fleeing the collapsing dystopian European countries. But a series of unfortunate events later, she finds herself adrift in a storage container with no way out and no land in sight.

There’s only so much you can do in the predicament in this film so it occasionally felt dragged out… and yet the emotional end of the movie proved enough had happened. I was deeply invested and I wanted to know what happened next… which is proof that a movie had worked.

For a film basically with one location, two if you count both the interior and exterior of the container, it manages to squeeze enough survival scenarios out of the concept. Sometimes you wind up with her bored looking at the horizon… but there’s always those scenes in survival movies. Not every day is a good day.

So I liked this one. I had quickly figured it’d be a “good enough” movie, but that ending really sold me. Worth watching if you like survival stories in unlikely scenarios… or if you like to play “how many days would I have survived?”
