Link's movie is an absorbing tale of cultural displacement and adjustment. It's also a remarkably complex examination of a marriage.

One very fine film.

The pacing of Nowhere in Africa is a mite drowsy, but there are payoffs for the director's uninsistent touch.

| Apr 22, 2003

A worthy, complex and nuanced film.

| Original Score: B+ | Apr 17, 2003

Nowhere in Africa is a movie of many moods and nuances. In addition to being a Holocaust saga, it's a girl's story, a woman's story and the story of a marriage.

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.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 5, 2003

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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 4, 2003

An instant family classic to be shared and enjoyed by parents and mature teens.

If there's a love story here, it's the Redlichs' -- and the director's -- love for the stark beauty of Africa.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 28, 2003

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.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 28, 2003

What rescues the film is ... the quality of the acting.

Full Review | Mar 28, 2003

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 28, 2003

This consistently absorbing family saga is primarily a safari of the soul.

Your next movie destination should be Nowhere in Africa.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 27, 2003

It is so rare to find a film where you become quickly, simply absorbed in the story. You want to know what happens next.
