Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes

Cary Darling, Miami Herald: A good story, exceedingly well told. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: This is a wonderful adventure. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: A lovely film with a deeply humane perspective. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: Despite a shaky narrative focus and dramatic reticence, its journey is consistently absorbing. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: There's a lot more to Nowhere in Africa -- too much, actually ... Yet even if the movie has at least one act too many, the question that runs through it -- of whether belonging to a place is a matter of time or of will -- remains consistent. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: This is an intelligent epic told without special pleading, a film able to cut deep enough to reveal a keen specificity of experience. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: The acting is excellent. Read more
Vic Vogler, Denver Post: The film has the glorious sweep of an epic. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: Audience empathy for the displaced Redlichs, coupled with the filmmaker's proffered charms of wise natives and their mysterious rituals, goes a long way toward making this lyrical travelogue a crowd pleaser. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: Nowhere in Africa isn't really a dull film so much as an oddly quaint one that seems to find a comfortable perspective about drastic circumstances. Read more
Jane Sumner, Dallas Morning News: A worthy, complex and nuanced film. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: The movie's real strength lies in its intelligent, sympathetic account of the dynamic, difficult marriage of Regina's parents. Read more
Jan Stuart, Newsday: A ravishing page-turner of an adventure that defies as many expectations as it fulfills. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: The story here is more personal and intimate than in last year's Shanghai Ghetto, in which an entire Jewish community was transported to Shanghai. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: It is so rare to find a film where you become quickly, simply absorbed in the story. You want to know what happens next. Read more
Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle: A well-acted, exquisitely photographed, plot-jammed movie that sinks into melodrama and reveals too little about the African culture and landscape in which it's set. Read more
David Edelstein, Slate: The pacing of Nowhere in Africa is a mite drowsy, but there are payoffs for the director's uninsistent touch. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: Superbly acted and brilliantly lensed, Nowhere In Africa is that hard-to-achieve movie where the small picture counts for more than the bigger one. Read more
Mike Clark, USA Today: This is one of the best films about a person coming to the viewpoint of another, only to see that person have a change in attitude. Read more
Laura Sinagra, Village Voice: A straightforward epic, almost alarmingly quaint in the telling. Read more
