Nowhere Special

"Understated terminal illness drama earns your tears" 

"There are so many ways to go wrong with this story, which we are told was inspired by an unidentified real father and son. Writer/director Uberto Pasolini does not let that happen, relying on the most ordinary details to take on greater and greater weight (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)" 

"Tender, quiet adoption drama (...) Moments of kindness and humanity abound in this closely observed Northern Irish character study" 

"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)" 

"'Nowhere Special' is something special indeed. If you aren't shedding well-earned tears by the end of this film you simply are not human"
