Girl from Nowhere is many things: a gripping tale of loyalty and betrayal in a triangle relationship. It is also an adventure story showing South Africas beautiful wilderness and that of the three characters. A couple picks up a female hitchhiker and the three are stuck in a house in the middle of nowhere. There is tension. There is fear, doubt, jealousy and a tiny bit of erotic interaction.
The way the three interact changes their behaviour and eventually their lives. Nothing will ever be the same again...
Some scenes reference feminist topics (Don't be be mislead by the hot pants. Really listen to the words), which made me enjoy the movie even more. In my opinion there could be more of those, as the main girl is portrayed as an independent strong woman. However, I really enjoyed the on-point script.
The characters feel real and believable; I enjoyed Scot Cooper portraying his character Hugh very well, internally battling with whom he'd like to pursue.
As a German I recognised the cultural South African elements like a Braai or certain local words, which transported me immediately to South Africa.
Girl from Nowhere is a wonderful movie to watch. With its grind-house feel it is visually mesmerising and the quality folk/rock music emphasises the mood of the story.
It is not a fast paced mainstream movie. It is rhythmical and has an intelligent script. Totally worth watching. Well done to cast and crew, waiting for the next one!
