Los Angeles TimesMichael OrdoñaJan 21, 2021
No Man’s Land comes out of the blue to comment memorably on the immigration crisis by simply giving human life its due. It’s wise and empathetic and worth a watch. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterStephen FarberJan 19, 2021
The movie probably runs on a little too long considering the lack of complexity in the script, but it achieves moments of pathos that speak eloquently to our present mood of discord, tempered with a tentative hope of reconciliation. Read full review

There is a gentleness, both to Allyn’s performance and to the film overall, that draws the audience in.

That doesn’t forgive all of its shortcomings, but it comes close. Read full review

No Man’s Land is an interesting twist on the border drama, daring to depict Mexico as complex and nuanced country: welcoming, fascinating and menacing in equal parts. But the story still centers a white male experience and hero’s journey. Read full review
