无名旅馆2021

The Nowhere Inn is fan service in the most St Vincent of ways: solidifying her mysterious image as a queer women’s deity, baring everything and revealing nothing at all.

Between wanting to be a sort of meta-documentary/concert/drama film with horror overtones, The Nowhere Inn ends up empty-handed in an attempt full of undeveloped ideas that ultimately ends up saying absolutely nothing. I would've preferred a concert film. It would've been more exciting.

Layered storytelling that tests the limits of the screen and the fourth wall allows for Clark and Brownstein to play at playing themselves, making for a sharp, comedic commentary on the way fame complicates identity.
