Reviews:
"FROM NOWHERE largely avoids preachiness and sanctimony, preferring to wrestle with the real world in all its stubborn complexity." -- Grade: B+ - 02/15/2017 A.V. Club
3 stars out of 4 -- "[I]t sets a coherent agenda from the get-go and manages to make a credible and disquieting narrative out of that." - 02/17/2017 RogerEbert.com
"Directing the action with a gently handheld camera and a sharp ear for the rhythms of everyday teenspeak, Newton draws us persuasively into the sheer normalcy of his characters’ world -- and forces us to imagine the feeling of having that normalcy suddenly ripped away." - 02/16/2017 Los Angeles Times
"It’s one thing to read about roundups of suspected illegal immigrants; it’s quite another to observe the anxiety of smart, talented teenagers trying to keep their cool while under the watchful gaze of immigration officials and the police." - 02/16/2017 New York Times
"Depicting the struggles of three undocumented Bronx high school students to avoid deportation, FROM NOWHERE resonates with tender compassion for its characters." - 02/17/2017 Hollywood Reporter
