Netflix’s unbearably tense new thriller, “Nowhere,” has become a massive hit, surpassing all expectations. With 77.9 million views, it has claimed the title of Netflix’s most viewed non-English title of 2023, making it the second most viewed non-English film in the history of the platform. This success is particularly noteworthy as “Nowhere” has only been streaming since the end of September, putting it in the same league as the current top non-English film, “Troll,” which has been streaming for a year.
The film’s gripping storyline set in a near-future Spain, where the scarcity of essentials has led to a dystopian society, has captivated audiences. “Nowhere” follows the harrowing journey of a couple desperate to escape and the heavily pregnant Mia who finds herself lost at sea in a shipping container full of seemingly useless trinkets. The film’s bleak and tension-filled narrative has garnered a mix of reviews, with praise for Anna Castillo’s lead performance and some viewers finding it a challenging watch.
Despite its mixed reception, the ambiguity of the film’s ending leaves room for a potential sequel, a prospect that is likely to excite Netflix and the filmmakers. “Nowhere” is currently available for streaming on Netflix, offering audiences the opportunity to experience this captivating and thought-provoking thriller.
