Michael O'Sullivan

Oct 31, 2013

Van Dormael has crafted a saga that, even at two-plus hours, is endlessly, enormously watchable. Read full review

Marc Mohan

Oct 31, 2013

van Dormael’s vivid visual sense and genuine curiosity about the nature of love and life, time and death, make it well worth surrendering to his imagination for a while. Read full review

Deborah Young

Nov 1, 2013

Van Dormael's intriguing script is more than matched in his flamboyant direction of this 2-hour-plus tale, heroically edited by Matyas Veress and Susan Shipton into a fluid, generally understandable narrative. Read full review

Boyd van Hoeij

Sep 13, 2013

Though a lot of it is well written and directed and, quite often, funny or poignant, the individual scenes rarely become part of a larger whole. Read full review

Mike D'Angelo

In the end, Mr. Nobody’s title is simply too apt. Read full review

Jennie Punter

Sep 13, 2013

An ambitious, if uneven, experimental sci-fi romance that is less a thought-provoker than a dazzling juggling act. Read full review

Mr. Nobody is simply a failure. Read full review

A beautiful history combined with a marvelous cinematography and a really interesting point of view: The circumstances of life, parallel universes... The difference that different choices make in our lives. Worth watching.

This movie was absolutely amazing. I agree with the masses on their opinion that you either love or hate this film. In an artistic sense, this movie was stunning, a masterpiece.

Beautiful and well selected music, during the whole movie, mind-blowing directIng, smooth transition from scene to scene, insane storyline, characters in a wide range - each with their own difficulties In life.

I had the opportunity to see it again 10 years after his release (in a wonderful director's cut version) and I am convinced that he is aging very well. Initially it was not taken into consideration in my country (Italy); then in 2016 the Italian distributors perceived the enormous success they had decided to take it to Italy. My advice is to watch it in the original language (you can find it on Netflix); dubbing,in my humble opinion, is done in a hurry and doesn't fully make the beauty that the film carries with it. Why did I like this movie so much? First of all, Jared Leto's performance is incredible, he really manages to extricate himself in a myriad of different roles with great skill. The soundtrack and the non-original songs that accompanied the film are perfect (including Where is my Mind by Pixies, great!). The film is complex, opens up a tons of readings and generates many questions, to watch and to review and to comment on. And finally, from a technical point of view, thanks to a very creative montage that creates a nice rhythm and a sensational photography is a pleasure for the eyes. In short, for me it is highly recommended.… Expand

If you are looking for a pretentious movie that tries to dazzle you with all the fancy montage, visual effects, abstruse physics theory that is the latest sci-fi trend, then this is the movie to go to, so as you don't mind one thing - telling a good story, which is the least thing on theIf you are looking for a pretentious movie that tries to dazzle you with all the fancy montage, visual effects, abstruse physics theory that is the latest sci-fi trend, then this is the movie to go to, so as you don't mind one thing - telling a good story, which is the least thing on the director's mind apparently. If you have seen any of those Wearable Art costumes, which are meant for anything but functioning as normal clothes, you get what this movie is about. At least Wearable Arts don't pretend to be clothes.… Expand
