In Tokyo, the reckless single mother Keiko moves to a small apartment with her twelve years old son Akira Fukushima and his siblings Shigeru and Yuki. Kyoko, another sibling arrives later by train. The children have different fathers and do not have schooling, but they have a happy life with their mother. When Keiko finds a new boyfriend, she leaves the children alone, giving some money to Akira and assigning him to take care of his siblings. When the money runs out, Akira manages to find means to survive with the youngsters without power supply, gas or water at home, and with the landlord asking for the rent.
Leave your thoughts about Nobody Knows.
| Sympatico.caAngela Baldassarre"Nobody Knows" contains a familiar premise that may prove disturbing to some viewers. |
| Blogcritics.orgAlan Dale[Kore-eda has developed]a paradoxically quiet expressionistic technique, a virtuosic way to make the audience feel as if we were observing without intruding. |
| Contra Costa TimesMary F. PolsSitting through this movie is akin to being forced to watch a box of 2-week-old kittens try to survive without their mother. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Andrew WrightThe brief sight of a simple crayon doodle on a long overdue gas bill can bum you out for days afterwards ... The final devastating results aren't far from a masterpiece. |
| Window to the MoviesJeffrey ChenMakes you weep for humanity's lack of humanity, but in doing so it reveals your own humanity in the concerns that honestly surface from within you as you watch. |
| The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)Mark PalermoPhotographed in static shots that never cast judgement, the child actors have a naturalism that makes familiarity emotionally charged. |
| Toronto StarGeoff PevereThe film's extraordinary power derives from the filmmaker's restraint. Kore-eda is less interested in the obvious moral delinquency behind the incident than in the lives of the children who are condemned to survive it. |
| Reel.comRudy JoggerstA moving, excruciating, and compelling drama about four little anti-heroes who try to make the best of their hopeless situation. |
| TheMovieChicks.comCherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann PaloneThis is so moving - you love these children and feel their joys and suffering. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsBob StraussNobody Knows has a haunting quality that is all the more effective for its deceptively everyday appearance. |
