	Author	Review
Canada	Liam Lacey The Globe and Mail	"The truth is you can find more entertaining absurdities and thrilling nihilism from watching the average episode of 'Melrose Place' or 'Beverly Hills, 90210'"	NEU
United Kingdom	Time Out	"Teen nihilism of the cheapest kind, it's as pretentious as Jean-Luc Godard"	NEG
United States	Nathan Rabin AV Club	"'Nowhere' is Araki's most accomplished film yet, and if it never quite comes together, it's still a wildly entertaining film"	POS
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"If it weren't so overpopulated and desperate to shock, Nowhere might have succeeded as a maliciously cheery satire of Hollywood brats overdosing on the very concept of Hollywood."	NEU
United Kingdom	Jake Hamilton Empire	"Inferior teen drugs-drama, lacking depth and a point. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times	"Take this picture literally and you're in trouble; better to view it as an allegory on youthful despair in which Araki deftly scores serious points without taking himself too seriously."	POS
