If you're looking for a classic 'slice of life' film, you've come to the right place. Middle Of Nowhere concerns the fortunes of a young girl hoping to attend college... only problem is, she's skint. In no small way thanks to her mother taking all her dough. So what better way to make up the difference than to become the driver for a teenage drug dealer? There are a whole mess of other problems besetting her too: The jealous little sister trying to act older. The man she loves lying about not being in another relationship. And the REAL reason your father committed suicide. Hearts will be broken, skeletons will emerge from closets... and could those tops get any lower?
Sorry... lost my train of thought there for a sec. This film, is a heart, a simple tale well told, with the cast giving it their all and lotsa dramatic scenes to nail down your interest. These people are not wholly bad or good... they have set goals in life that others may seek to challenge, but for the most part don't succeed in derailing. We like them, we want the best for them... and these are signs of emotional investment. In other words, the movie works. A modest flick, moderately succeeds. That's all there is to it, really now... 6/10
