Nowhere is very difficult to describe: there is not much of a standard plot, the movie is driven by the many atypical characters, and quotable dialog. If there is a story to be had, it takes place within a 24-hour period, and centers around our main character, Dark, and his friends, who are going to a party that night. On paper, this could come across as boring, and this movie is absolutely not for everyone. What fleshes out the runtime is the soundtrack, and all the random events throughout, including, but not limited to: drugs, violence, sex, alien abduction, suicide, and rape. So what is Nowhere? It's a dark, indie comedy, which plays out like if David Cronenberg directed Pulp Fiction... an art film for people who hate art films. "Bend over, robot!"

Campy fun, weird characters, a killer soundtrack, wild tonal shifts and really solid performances. This is truly a one of a kind emotional trip. Structurally it’s very similar to _Magnolia_; there’s not really an overarching plot but the characters are all linked by a theme, in this case that being sexual discovery. Aesthetically it feels very ahead of the curve, the colours and editing choices feel trippy and overstimulating, but not in a way that’s exhausting. It’s very of its time but not in a way that feels dated, unlike some other 90s teen comedies. Its only problem is that it tries to juggle too much, the fact that it works as well as it does is already quite the achievement, however not all of the characters are equally as interesting.

8/10

“It's like we all know, deep in our souls, that our generation is gonna witness the end of everything”.

This movie was literally a pansexual apocalypse. OMG. Ugh, I don’t know why but Gregg Araki is literally the best, perfect fucking trash. Love him! I cannot put into words how mind blowing his vision in cinema is to me. So pointless yet so chaotically beautiful, and fashionably, aesthetically amazing. ^_^

Nowhere is plotless; it’s really about nothing. However, a lot of bizarre shit still happens. So many characters with so many story lines. Though, it all just ties down to representations of drugs; adrenaline rushes; suicide; rape; alcohol abuse; and specifically youth struggling in a dull ass world or legitimately nowhereee as they fuck and explore the meaning of love and sexuality. Ohhh, + weird lizard aliens that abduct. Like??? Idk this film is just a bunch of chaos and adrenaline rush. Is it a dream? Is it not a dream?

“L.A. is like... nowhere. Everybody who lives here is lost”.

I personally shockingly adored this film, thought I kinda hate that I do because it’s just thAT bad yet? So good!! If you wanna watch Nowhere ... picture it as a blend of Donnie Darko, Requiem for a Dream and Kids. You’re probably gonna watch it thinking you’re having a really bad acid trip. Maybe it’s meant to be watched on acid? Hmm ...

This movie is crazy. Lots of perversion and gayness. Think... John Waters strung out on heroin.
