Nowhere (II) (2023)
7/10
A little implausible, but well made
7 October 2023
Well made and a lot better than one would think reading the scenario beforehand. Having said that, while it is a sturdy enough survival against all odds film, that it could actually happen the way it is depicted is a little hard to swallow. It's never really silly and considering its limitations of mostly being in one small set, it's rather impressive that it works well for most of two hours. The story of a woman trapped in a shipping container that becomes unstrapped in rough seas while she is 9 months pregnant offers a lot of drama. I was also extremely impressed by the fake pregnancy. It is so realistic it's hard to believe that the actress in the leading role is not really pregnant. She, Anna Castillo, also gives a good performance. Prior to the scenario I just described the first half hour or so of getting to the ship is also riveting. My only real problem with the film was the last half hour or so as, again, one questions how it could really happen, but it still a good enough film and I recommend that you watch it with subtitles.
