Film Review - The Nowhere Inn
September 15, 2021
Annie Clark is St. Vincent. Or perhaps St. Vincent is Annie Clark. Either way, one woman is a Texan who’s worked for nearly two decades to become a successful musician, while the other is a successful musician who’s worked for two decades to stymie access to her real life, preferring to present herself as an art-rock alien. “The Nowhere Inn” is a fitting tribute to the world of St. Vincent, with the faux documentary never far from strangeness or a bit of inscrutable business, while director Bill Benz attempts to create something of a comedy out of everything. For those unfamiliar with St. Vincent and her wily ways, or for those who wish to learn more about her as a performer and everyday human, “The Nowhere Inn” is going to be a mighty frustrating sit. It’s an elusive endeavor, and not always in the best of ways, but Benz certainly makes a visually compelling feature, and Clark (or is it St. Vincent?) tries to bring her multiple personalities to the big screen, at times making quite an impression with her enigmatic ways.
