Since debuting on Netflix, the film has been hugely popular. Many critics have praised its tense atmosphere and how it leaves a lasting impact on its viewers.
However, some critics have pointed out that the plot can feel a bit too safe at times – which is evident by its 56% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Despite this, viewers have taken to social media to discuss the movie and share how anxious and nerve-wracking the film left them.
One person writes: “This movie Nowhere on Netflix is intense af lord I’ve had like 10 heart attacks watching this damn movie.”
“Watched it yesterday. Stressed me out pretty good. Good stuff,” adds another viewer.
A third person says: The movie Nowhere on Netflix gave me terrible anxiety from beginning to end…”
Someone else pens: “That was THE most anxiety-filled, stress-inducing, rollercoaster of emotions I’ve ever felt watching a movie! Why would y’all make this?”
“This movie made me ball my f***ing eyes out,” comments a fifth.
Some viewers have even gone on to speculate whether Nowhere is based on a true story, but this has been quashed by both the director Albert Pintó and by Castillo.

Speaking to Netflix, Pintó wanted the film to feel ‘tangible’ and felt like viewers could immerse themselves into Mia’s troubles.
Meanwhile, in an interview with ES Euro, Castillo explained that the film is about a ‘dystopian reality’ and the extreme lengths someone would go through to escape it.
The actress told the outlet: “The people who die every day at sea are terrible. But this movie is not about that. I already did Mediterranean, which was a social drama that talked about Open Arms, and Nowhere is a dystopian reality.
“The totalitarian regime serves to put the character in context and understand what this girl is doing fleeing in the container.”
Nowhere is now available to stream on Netflix.
