ever Here wears the outer clothes of a crime thriller to cloak a more haunting, disturbing, open-ended rumination on voyeurism and identity. Read full review

Artful and atmospheric to the max, Never Here is a study in personality disintegration dressed up as a whodunit. The film marks an auspicious debut for writer-director Camille Thoman. Read full review

The Guardian Peter Bradshaw

Thoman coolly creates an oppressive atmospheric charge, as well as a deadpan satiric view of a certain kind of chillingly affectless conceptual art. A disquieting and mysterious mirage of a film. Read full review

Never Here is a moody inversion of the stalker genre, less of a thriller than a Lynchian thinker. Thoman has a bright future and we'll say we knew her when. Read full review

Aaron Hillis

Oct 19, 2017

Up through the ambiguous ending, Thoman withholds the story’s bigger puzzle pieces, which is satisfying when the focus is on Miranda’s quietly traumatic unraveling. Yet as a mystery, Never Here teases too much naturalism to get away with the haunting abstruseness Lynch does in his masterful return to Twin Peaks. Read full review

The Film Stage Jared Mobarak

Oct 17, 2017

Thoman spins a suspense thriller with all its genre underpinnings around Miranda to take the control she’s always carefully ensured was hers away. Read full review

Jeannette Catsoulis

Oct 19, 2017

Ms. Enos is a credibly fraying voyeur, all anxious looks and nervous starts, but “Never Here” is too emotionally antiseptic to engage. Read full review

If you are tempted to rent this movie because it stars the woman from the TV series, "The Killing" (the best murder mystery/suspense TV series I've ever seen), if you're tempted to rent this movie for any reason in fact, please do not. It is awful. At first I thought, This movie is startingIf you are tempted to rent this movie because it stars the woman from the TV series, "The Killing" (the best murder mystery/suspense TV series I've ever seen), if you're tempted to rent this movie for any reason in fact, please do not. It is awful. At first I thought, This movie is starting off kind of slow, then an hour had gone by and still almost nothing had happened. Also, the sound is poorly done technically. The star has a voice that is kind of hard to hear sometimes; she mumbles a bit, which they handled well in The Killing. But in this movie when she talks, sometimes I could not tell what she was saying. Maybe if you have a good sound system hooked to your TV. But I just have the speakers that came with my TV. I turned the movie off after the first hour, though I skipped ahead to a few points first to see if eventually something would happen. I didn't pick up anything that seemed worthwhile, so I just quit.

This appears to be an attempt to make an 'art' movie and to call it a thriller. There is nothing thrilling or remotely suspenseful about this movie. Nor is there anything interesting about it. It's not the fault of the actors. It's the story. The script just has no pacing; nothing ever really seems to develop.… Expand
