St Vincent's performance is as sharp as her bob

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

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.

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.
