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

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.

[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

While St. Vincent's The Nowhere Inn is not the standard performative music documentary, it opens a window to her soul that many are never able to give away so freely in front of the camera.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 17, 2021

For a film that gestures at revelation, "The Nowhere Inn" remains a bit arch and removed, an evasive maneuver of sorts. It doesn't reveal much, but that was never the point. It seems to be an exercise in non-attachment.

A hall of mirrors reflecting not terribly much...

| Sep 16, 2021

Never consistently funny enough to work as straight comedy and too broad to succeed in its somber aspirations, the results are still engaging in their attempts to defy easy categorization.

| Original Score: B- | Sep 15, 2021

The film is elevated by funny, cleverly staged sequences, but it too often hammers the notion that fame destroys authenticity.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 13, 2021

The entire shebang is so naggingly self-referential, and so noisy with in-jokes, that it should, by rights, disappear up its own trombone. But there's a saving grace: this is a funny movie.

St. Vincent and Brownstein prove to be an incredible pair to study at the center of this movie's kaleidoscope, and the film is befitting their boundless and generous creativity.

As a ballad about a rock star's soul, "The Nowhere Inn" is a fun riff performed on flimsy strings.

| Original Score: C+ | Jan 31, 2020

The editing rolls the story along sufficiently so that as long as viewers aren't too bothered by the self-indulgent descents down narrative rabbit holes, it's a jolly enough way to spend 91 minutes.

St. Vincent and Carrie Brownstein shine in this uneven, but effective, clever blend of fact and fiction.

| Original Score: B- | Jan 29, 2020

It's amusing enough to get lost in this labyrinthine plotting for a breezy 91 minutes, even if the twisty existential finale doesn't quite justify the journey.

| Original Score: B+ | Jan 27, 2020

A collection of comedic and musical sketches that are not funny, weird or thoughtful enough to sell its creators' insistent, but mostly trite and undeveloped, ideas about the performative nature of self-fashioning and creative authenticity.

| Jan 27, 2020

The film... descends into surrealist territory and questions who is ever really in control when we're talking about celebrity.
