Leave your thoughts about Mr. Nobody.
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanVan Dormael has crafted a saga that, even at two-plus hours, is endlessly, enormously watchable. |
| McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreWriter-director Jaco Van Dormael (“Toto the Hero”) spins flashbacks and time-lapse photography, stunning montages, whirling, circling cameras and stunning underwater, deep space and Martian landscape photography into a film that is as intentionally opaque as it is overlong. |
| The A.V. ClubBen KenigsbergAs philosophy, Mr. Nobody seems sillier than it is profound. But in a parallel reality, more movies would have this degree of insane ambition. |
| The Hollywood ReporterDeborah YoungVan 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. |
| Portland OregonianMarc Mohanvan 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. |
| VarietyBoyd van HoeijThough 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. |
| The DissolveMike D'AngeloIn the end, Mr. Nobody’s title is simply too apt. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jennie PunterAn ambitious, if uneven, experimental sci-fi romance that is less a thought-provoker than a dazzling juggling act. |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenThe only truly graspable notion the film can be said to put forth is one of increasingly tedious sci-fi-romantic genre busy-ness. |
| User ReviewfunkonionThis was one of the most engaging and memorable pieces of cinema I've seen in long time. Movies are often formulaic, predictable and often insultingly dumbed-down. Boy howdy, this ain't that. Whoever this director is, he's made something that speaks to both heart and mind. If you're a film fan looking for a fresh, human story, this is certainly that. |
