There are aspects in THE NOWHERE INN reminiscent of SYNECDOCHE and of THE TRUMAN SHOW. This film is semi-autobiographical; it is also somewhat self-referential.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 16, 2022

"The Nowhere Inn" explores fame and identity in a unique blend of genres. It is a weird movie that has just the right combination of comedy and experimentation to work.

| Original Score: 7/10 | May 20, 2022

St Vincent's performance is as sharp as her bob

| Oct 28, 2021

Too hip for its own good, the film ends up going nowhere.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 26, 2021

In this film about stardom, the viewer has nowhere to appreciate and connect with the characters and concepts.

| Oct 18, 2021

The Nowhere Inn rambles, falters, and sometimes gets too meta for its own good. But it's got enough quirky satire of celebrity documentaries to bring some laughs.

| Oct 3, 2021

This bizarre but entertaining film is worth seeing precisely for all its strangeness.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 28, 2021

Nearly resists criticism as a picture that is equal parts fun and equal parts frustration, depending on the expectations you have walking in.

| Original Score: B | Sep 24, 2021

The Nowhere Inn is a cool idea that, alas, quickly runs out of steam. Its tongue-in-cheek deadpan sardonicism is good for a couple of chuckles, then settles into a dulling sameness.

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 23, 2021

Like much of the singer's own music, The Nowhere Inn veers from lucid entertainment to art-pop experimentation. It's also a charming comedy where we sense St. Vincent making fun of her stage persona being taken much too seriously.

| Sep 20, 2021

The strange bits begin to feel like "Portlandia" sketches, non sequiturs that serve fine as standalone curios but don't propel the film toward anything of much substance.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 20, 2021

I found it a long, sporadically clever 91 minutes. But if you're more than a casual enthusiast for either lead performer, you this may well be your new favorite movie ever...

| Sep 20, 2021

This is a film that's brash and refreshingly intellectual even if it's just all surface. Whether you like it or not, it seems hard to deny it truly has a vision.

| Sep 19, 2021

Between its more self-satisfied tangents and characterizations that don't do justice to its core, The Nowhere Inn lacks sufficient internal logic to fully work.

| Sep 18, 2021

Once this clever and captivating diversion grabs you, what's fact and fiction becomes irrelevant.

| Sep 18, 2021

Kind of pointless.

| Original Score: C | Sep 18, 2021

It's interesting in that surreal way they deconstruct all these elements of fame and what it can do to you personally.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 18, 2021

Lavish sequences showcase the ingenuity of the lead pairing, who play off one another and pull out some of each other's most vulnerable character traits in truly sincere and often amusing ways.

| Sep 17, 2021

Albeit undeniably entertaining, too often what we witness is too clever for its own good, too on the nose and too predictable.

| Original Score: B | Sep 17, 2021

[The Nowhere Inn] is consistently astute in how it handles its tonal shifts and point of view permutations.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 17, 2021
