Review of The Nowhere Inn (2021)

By Phuong Le (29) for The Guardian (2,969) on 26 Oct 2021

Review of The Nowhere Inn (2021)

By Katie Walsh (1,279) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 17 Sep 2021

Layered storytelling that tests the limits of the screen and the fourth wall allows for Clark and Brownstein to play at playing themselves,…

Review of The Nowhere Inn (2021)

By Carlos Aguilar (278) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 17 Sep 2021

Plenty watchable and inspired from a visual standpoint, The Nowhere Inn is a less refined and less provocative relative of Joanna Hogg’s…

Review of The Nowhere Inn (2021)

While St…

Review of The Nowhere Inn (2021)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for The New York Times (9,847) on 16 Sep 2021

Formally lively, The Nowhere Inn is a true meta exercise in the sense that the more derivative and self-conscious its conceptual gambits seem…

Review of The Nowhere Inn (2021)

By Alex Mclevy (31) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 15 Sep 2021

Never consistently funny enough to work as straight comedy and too broad to succeed in its somber aspirations, the results are still engaging…

Review of The Nowhere Inn (2021)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 15 Sep 2021

Early on, the self-deprecating stuff takes on a studied air, and in the final stretch, the filmmakers seem to think they can shock-cut and…

Review of The Nowhere Inn (2021)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for Movie Nation (3,875) on 13 Sep 2021

Nowhere Inn never quite crawls out from under the David Byrne influence as a movie or a film conceit…

Review of The Nowhere Inn (2021)

By Anthony Lane (1,079) for The New Yorker (1,837) on 13 Sep 2021

As you’d imagine, the entire shebang is so naggingly self-referential, and so noisy with in-jokes, that it should, by rights, disappear up…

Review of The Nowhere Inn (2021)

By Derek Smith (382) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 13 Sep 2021

The film is elevated by funny, cleverly staged sequences, but it too often hammers the notion that fame destroys authenticity…

Review of The Nowhere Inn (2021)

By Eric Kohn (1,203) for IndieWire (3,631) on 01 Feb 2020

At times a bit too enamored of these loose conceits, The Nowhere Inn sometimes registers as a cheap fuck-with-the-audience provocation that…

Review of The Nowhere Inn (2021)

By Leslie Felperin (768) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 01 Feb 2020

The Nowhere Inn is simultaneously satire and fan service, frothy fun and pretentious nonsense, depending on what the viewer wants it to be…

Review of The Nowhere Inn (2021)

By Lorry Kikta (141) for Film Threat (5,156) on 01 Feb 2020

The Nowhere Inn deeply explores the dynamic between performer and audience and performer with self…

Review of The Nowhere Inn (2021)

Review of The Nowhere Inn (2021)

By Chris Evangelista (306) for Slashfilm (971) on 01 Feb 2020

The film, directed by Portlandia helmer Bill Benz, is too much of a hodge-podge for its own good…

Review of The Nowhere Inn (2021)

By Amy Nicholson (961) for Variety (12,700) on 01 Feb 2020

As a ballad about a rock star’s soul, The Nowhere Inn is a fun riff performed on flimsy strings…

Review of The Nowhere Inn (2021)

By Clint Worthington (295) for Consequence (296) on 01 Feb 2020

Try as it might to blend the music-conscious idiosyncrasies of Portlandia with the varied persona of one of our weirdest, most valued artists,…
