Critics' reviews

"'Nowhere' is Araki's most accomplished film yet, and if it never quite comes together, it's still a wildly entertaining film"

Nathan Rabin: AV Club
"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."

Stephen Holden: The New York 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."

Kevin Thomas: Los Angeles Times
"The truth is you can find more entertaining absurdities and thrilling nihilism from watching the average episode of 'Melrose Place' or 'Beverly Hills, 90210'"

Liam Lacey: The Globe and Mail
"Teen nihilism of the cheapest kind, it's as pretentious as Jean-Luc Godard"

Time Out
"Inferior teen drugs-drama, lacking depth and a point. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"

Jake Hamilton: Empire
