Nowhere Special - Reviews

Intelligently scripted, beautifully played and perfectly judged tonally, it’s small scale but packs a huge punch.

...I invested totally in Norton’s spine-tingling, intimate performance; and, in spite of myself, the end had me in floods of tears.

It’s touching how the camera drops to their feet as they walk in sync, lingering on their matching baseball caps and twin ice-cream cones.

Empatien er i højsædet i Pasolinis rørende drama.

Den ena minimalistiska vardagsscenen efter den andra binds ihop till en överraskande öm och poetisk helhet.

Den omöjliga matchmakingen går som en röd tråd genom filmen och skapar spänning in i det sista.

...osentimental men hjärtskärande.

...en film, der virker stærkt i det stille.

Sjældent har en far-barn-relation været skildret så autentisk på film.

...an incredibly moving film that takes a unique and profound look at death, through the eyes of a parent.

Norton is also excellent, making the most ordinary domestic moments between John and his son achingly beautiful.

You are forced to invest emotionally, and you do. You care deeply about this well-meaning man staring down the barrel of his own existence as he attempts to make a life and legacy-defining decision.

...finstämd berättelse om hur den dödssjuke småbarnspappan John försöker hitta en ny familj åt sin son.
