Three undocumented teenagers -- a Dominican girl, an African boy and a Peruvian girl -- are about to graduate high school in the Bronx, while working with a teacher and a lawyer to try to get proper documents to stay in the U.S. Forced to grow up quickly and navigate problems most adults don't even have to face, the students are really just American teenagers who want to be with their friends, fall in love, and push back against authority.

3/4

As a film, it's uneven and clumsy, but as a responsible political statement about the chaos we live in now, it's both enlightening and troubling.

Depicting the struggles of three undocumented Bronx high school students to avoid deportation, From Nowhere resonates with tender compassion for its characters.

3/4

From Nowhere is not a visionary work, and I don't think it aims to be; but it sets a coherent agenda from the get-go and manages to make a credible and disquieting narrative out of that.

"From Nowhere" may be all about the difficulty of fitting in, but ultimately, it can't help but stand out.

3/5

Director Matthew Newton delivers an earnest drama that's more about its highly relevant message than its technique.

Even at its bluntest, most didactic, and sorely predictable, From Nowhere will likely move and outrage even the stoniest of the individuals.

An unsettling movie with some fine acting. Best movie I have seen in the recent past.
