Nowhere Special

"Norton shows his depths here with a finely judged turn, bouncing between anger, frustration, affection and despair. It’s a strong film all around, poised and more delicately emotional than the subject might suggest (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"The empathy it brings to one man’s crushing decision makes this an affecting portrait of parental devotion" 

"This is an incredibly moving film that takes a unique and profound look at death, through the eyes of a parent (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"This tiny Northern Ireland-set tale into an almost sensory experience. Key to that is a keenly sympathetic performance by James Norton" 

"Hugely affecting and perfectly played, 'Nowhere Special' is a peach of a picture (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"It’s tender and poignant, but might be a bit cloying were it not for Norton, who underplays it beautifully with a performance of tremendous depth and empathy (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Uberto Pasolini has already established himself as a master of eliciting gentle, quiet performances from his leads (...) It might be small and unassuming, but for the most part, 'Nowhere Special' has its heart in the right place."
