It’s one debacle after another for Alma (newcomer Sara Luna Zorić). When her long-estranged father is hospitalized in his native Bosnia, a not-quite-headstrong young woman leaves her home in The Netherlands to visit him. When she lands at the airport with a few Bosnian phrases and a new dress, her distracted older cousin Emir neglects to drive her to the hospital, preferring to hang out with his buddy Denis, “who has a girlfriend, so don’t even think about it.” After dyeing her hair and outlasting her patience, she hits the road on her own, quickly losing her luggage, her money, and her mooring. Along a bizarre chain of events and interactions with a cast of road-weary characters, Alma faces disappointment after disappointment with devil-may-care detachment and a newfound maturity.

In its breathless series of hotels, cars, buses, and waiting rooms, Take Me Somewhere Nice captures the dreary, fish-out-of-water isolation of the unfamiliar highway. An endearing update of Chantal Akerman’s Les Rendez-Vous d’Anna, fused with the jazzy cynicism of Wim Wenders’ and Jim Jarmusch’s 70’s road movies, and the stark, sunlit despair of a David Hockney painting. Recipient of the Special Jury Prize at the Rotterdam Film Festival, Take Me Somewhere Nice is the unpredictable, neon-tinted feature debut for Ena Sendijarević, a Bosnian-born refugee raised in Holland who is now one of Dutch cinema’s fastest rising talents. Her film’s breezy wit and pastel color palette disguise dark truths about national identity, gender, and coming-of-age, making it the first essential road movie about the TikTok generation.

Reviews

Bosnian road trip drama

"Entertaining release of a euro road trip drama. Explores family and other connections. Excellent transfer quality with a plethora is extra features and nifty artwork on the slipcover and reversible sleeve."

— Kresh R. (3/5)

Take Me Somewhere Nice Blu-ray

"Not your average Vinegar Syndrome movie. Very coming of age, lots of angst, and Eastern European romance. She travels from the Netherlands to Bosnia to find her sick, estranged father. Some disappointing family and an adventure road trip through Bosnia to track him down. Slip cover is absolute art as well."

— Zach S. (5/5)

Take me

"Take Me Somewhere Nice is a beautifully intimate and contemplative film that captures the subtleties of human connection with grace. Its stunning cinematography and naturalistic performances create a quietly immersive experience. The movie lingers in the mind, offering a heartfelt and thought-provoking journey."

— Jeffrey W. (5/5)

"Gean movie and excellent editing"

— Pedro M. (5/5)

A Gentle, Thoughtful Film with a Beautiful Boutique Release

"The transfer on this release is excellent, perfectly suited to the film’s quiet, observational style. Colors are natural, detail is crisp without feeling clinical, and the image retains a soft, cinematic texture that complements the story’s emotional subtlety. It’s a presentation that enhances immersion rather than calling attention to itself. The slipcover is understated and elegant, mirroring the tone of the film itself. The artwork feels deliberate and tasteful, making it a lovely shelf piece without overpowering the minimalist sensibility of the movie. It’s a reminder that strong design doesn’t have to be loud to be effective. As a release, this feels carefully curated. Vinegar Syndrome treats Take Me Somewhere Nice with the same respect they give cult classics, presenting it as an important piece of modern cinema rather than just another catalog title. The overall package feels cohesive, thoughtful, and collector-friendly. For fans of quiet, character-driven films, Take Me Somewhere Nice is a rewarding experience. With a strong transfer, a beautiful slipcover, and a well-considered release, it’s another example of Vinegar Syndrome’s commitment to preserving meaningful cinema across all genres."

— Tim L. (5/5)

Take Me Somewhere Nice

"A lovely intruiging film. Underssen little gem of a debut film from a gifted filmmaker. Highly recommended."

— Hansi L. (5/5)

Take Me Somewhere Nice

"Excellent packaging, wonderful transfer!"

— Hunter R. (5/5)

Haunting, spare, unforgettable

"I initially wondered if the quirky, spare road trip drama Take Me Somewhere Nice had anything more to offer besides beautiful visuals and vibes. However, the film has lingered with me in ways I didn’t expect. I think it’s saying something profound about isolation, how we all desire to be in service of a higher goal / power but lack the tools to. And the 1. 33:1 frame compositions are gorgeous."

— Joshua K. (5/5)

Fascinating travelogue, with wry humor

"A most intriguing film. It keeps moving all through, with a travelogue of events happening very matter-of-fact. The acting is excellent, understated, with streaks of comedy and even some hints of melodrama. An ambiguous ending, too. Really cool soundtrack, and an adorable dog, too! The special features include 3 short films that are quite good, and interviews that are also quite good. The blu-ray packaging includes an informative, illustrated booklet."

— Donald M. (4/5)

Clean, Minimalist, Attention-Grabbing

"I can't lie, I bought this movie simply for the packaging, the slipcover was speaking to me. I haven't seen the movie quite yet, but I'm really excited to watch it just based on how the cover art looks and the images that I've seen from the move."

— Jake B. (5/5)
