Reviews
Critical reception of Places Where We've Never Been has been mixed to positive. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a moderate approval rating, with critics praising its heartfelt portrayal of grief and strong central performance by Belén Fabra, though some note its pacing might feel slow for viewers seeking more dramatic narrative developments. IMDb users rate the film around 6.8/10, appreciating the emotional depth but expressing that the film’s subtlety may not appeal to all audiences. Metacritic scores reflect similar sentiments, with an average rating indicating generally favorable reviews but acknowledging that the film's introspective tone might limit its appeal to more niche arthouse viewers. Critics from publications like Cineuropa highlight the film's sensitive direction and atmospheric cinematography, describing it as "a gentle, affecting meditation on loss and family."
