| User ReviewJosh RAn excellent independent film! James Badge Dale and Gillian Jacobs and the ensemble cast are fantastic! A pleasant surprise to find after I was looking for more of Gillian Jacob's work. |
| User ReviewPaul HA true Wisconsin story that will touch your heart and bring back those nostalgic memories of being a teenager searching for the answers, but scared to move on. |
| User ReviewPatrick RTo go into full details about the plot would only ruin the story for those wanting to see it so I will stop there. "Nonames" is a story about a group of friends, sure the focus is on Kevin and his life in the small town he refuses to leave but you also get to know each and every friend of his and a few locals as well like his boss, Ed. These are characters that you care about and even relate to which is why the film is so hard to watch at times. There are happy times and even some humor in the film which is very funny but mostly it's a doom and gloom look at life in a small town that like it's residents is fighting to stay alive. A realistic, honest portrayal of small town U.S.A., I was taken in from the opening scene and through the film's many characters and dramatic moments. I was willing to invest my time in hopes everything turned out good for everyone. The cast is many but everyone did an outstanding job bringing their characters to life. James Badge Dale is amazing as Kevin, he brings so much emotion to his character that it pulls on your heart strings and Gillian Jacobs is just as wonderful as his girlfriend CJ. The film also features veteran actor, Barry Corbin and he delivers a terrific performance as well but we have come to expect it from him. Beautifully shot with gorgeous countryside scenery, you can easily tell a lot of heart went into making the film. "Nonames" is a powerful and dramatic film that moves you and it leaves you thinking about it long after it's over. An Independent masterpiece that is one of this year's must-see films. Winner for Best Director, Best Ensemble Cast and Special Jury Acting Achievement Award for Gillian Jacobs - Phoenix Film Festival. If there were more films like "Nonames" going to the cinema would be a much more rewarding time. |
| User ReviewKevin CI really liked the movie. Very realistic view of small town Wisconsin life in the 1980's. |
| User ReviewJeff BI'm not just saying this because I'm in it, but this is an extremely well-done piece of independent filming. I hope Dan Hopman catches the eye of other filmmakers because he was brilliant. |
| User ReviewLee MThere's nothing particularly wrong about creating a serious film that seriously addresses its subject matter, but Lindboe keeps the film so relentlessly overwrought that it's difficult to sympathize with any of the characters and, even more troubling, difficult for the film itself to sustain its emotional impact. |
