‘Nowhere Special’ Review: James Norton Is Superb In Father-And-Son Drama That Won’t Leave A Dry Eye In The House
A review of 'Nowhere Special' starring James Norton as a terminally ill single dad trying to find a forever home for his young toddler son.
Every week it seems there are large numbers of indie and specialty releases vying for attention, impossible to do them all, so when the option of reviewing Nowhere Special was placed in front of me I resisted at first after discovering it actually premiered at the 2020 Venice Film Festival. Fortunately Pasolini has a splendid cast to help tell this sad, but oddly hopeful, story starting with Norton ( Bob Marley: One Love, Little Women) who was nominated for a British Independent Film Award as Best Actor and delivers a poignant and heartbreaking performance as a very good father whose last act is to find a happy place for his son, and then to simply let go. Cast: James Norton, Daniel Lamont, Carol Moore, Valerie Kane, Eileen O’Higgins, Laura Hughes, Stella McCusker, Roisin Gallagher, Keith McErlean, Chris Corrigan, Niamh McGrady, Siobhan McSweeney, Caolan Byrne, Rhoda Ofori-Attah.
