Its mystery is not bad but frankly it doesn't offer anything strong or solid enough to justify its existence.… Expand

This is a Spielberg movie (100% manipulative with the editing, score, acting)...but only better by the way the story is told (non linear).

It has surprises (something that Spielberg probably doesn't know what it is)... and all the cliché beats that you can expect if you see the trailer.

A possibility for the critics not liking this movie is that the protagonist is a white male and nobody else in the movie matters that much and all serve to complete his story... They might be offended by it? Maybe? I don't get it

But yeah, mostly: Only Spielberg can be manipulative… Expand

If you do not get touch by this movie then you are the psyco. Very emotive but besides that the Mystery there is just awesome and we do not get to know everything until almost the end.

Logan and Elle equally cute. I loved the "are you really a girl?" line.… Expand

Please, do yourself a favour, don't read the critics' comments which make absolute no sense and watch this movie. It is truly a great movie about life, choices that we make and, most importantly, choices that we do not, things that happenPlease, do yourself a favour, don't read the critics' comments which make absolute no sense and watch this movie. It is truly a great movie about life, choices that we make and, most importantly, choices that we do not, things that happen that you have no control over.
Because those are the ones that will destroy us the most, those are the ones that we will forever think that we could have done something about it.

I watched a lot of movies in my life but I never watched one as great as this one and it makes me so sad that the critics did not get it, because it is truly well made. The world needs to see this and the movie needs to reach a much greater audience. I just happened to see the trailer on Youtube and I am so glad that I did. Those that didn't like it I believe were either shocked and negatively affected by the story and reacted negatively because of it or just didn't pay attention to the story. It is not clear at the beginning what exactly is happening as the director travel through different periods of time of the life of the protagonist. But I assure you that at the end everything will be clear and you will fall in love with the story and its concept behind it.

Please, please, take 2 hours of your life and watch this movie, you won't regret: great cinematography, great acting, amazing screenplay.… Expand

I don't understand all the negative reviews - I absolutely LOVED this movie - one of the best I've ever seen. Flashbacks were gut wrenching. A brilliant film with 1st class acting.

The film centers around a famous young novelist with a negligible life until a couple of melodramatically tragic twists, to which he reacts by deciding to return to anonymity (Mr. Nobody). Such an empty existence of an embarrassing presumption is depicted with a non-linear narrative, through elliptical flashbacks and flash-forwards on three different timelines. In the absence of a substantial content, the expressive form is messed up.… Expand
