Grieving her mother's death and her own failing marriage, Lexi boards a plane from London to Los Angeles to search for her estranged father, who abandoned her when she was 3 years old. Based out of a seedy Hollywood motel, she follows a tenuous trail of breadcrumbs. Along the way, she establishes other unexpected connections with her father's ailing, former second wife, her bitter half-sister Tanya and her caregiver girlfriend, and two local barflies.

Even when Lexi is unlikable, even when she doesn't quite earn her self-absorption, Catherine Goldschmidt's shimmery, handheld camerawork keeps bringing us back to her, as if magnetized.

Village Voice

There are some nicely shot moments throughout, but they feel empty - slow montages that mostly just fill out the film's thin plot and already slim runtime.

New York Times

In a film of mostly mixed merits ... mysterious highs sustain the mundane lows.

Cinemacy

The film's all around authenticity, coupled with incredible performances and execution, makes No Light and No Land Anywhere feel both intimate and fearless.

Slow brewing and obscure, slowly the main protagonist will get your attention although you are not quite sure what or who she is seeking despite ultimately seeming fulfilled by being helpful

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

This movie is stunningly beautiful. I loved it. An unlikable female protagonist (who I loved), a bit of a mystery, some fantastic acting. I got to see this at a film festival. Can't wait till everyone else gets to see it when it comes out.
