Critics Consensus

Mr. Nobody's narrative tangles may bedevil as much as they entertain, but its big ambitions and absorbing visuals make for an intriguing addition to director Jaco Van Dormael's filmography.

Michael O'Sullivan

Washington Post

Never mind that several characters seem to gain or lose British accents throughout the course of the film. The lack of continuity only enhances the sense of deliciously dizzying disequilibrium.

Rated: 4/4

AV Club

As philosophy, Mr. Nobody seems sillier than it is profound. But in a parallel reality, more movies would have this degree of insane ambition.

Rated: B

At the 44-minute mark (I checked) of 'Mr. Nobody,' I loudly sighed and asked, "Good God, when the hell is this movie going to START!"

Rated: 3/10

Critics at Large

The plot, dealing with a branching personal timeline, is intricately complex yet masterfully coherent, despite what a few overworked film critics have written.

Common Sense Media

Daring sci-fi with mature themes, sex, and violence.

Rated: 4/5

Under the Radar

[Writer-director] Van Dormael seems unsure of what exactly it is he's trying to say, and thus Mr. Nobody rambles on for nearly two and a half hours.

Rated: 2/10

Confusing waste of time. I resent that my time was wasted with this pathetic piece of garbage.

assiste e talvez óleo fervendo nos olhos seria mais confortável. Com 20 min desse "filme" eu ainda não sabia do que se tratava e o personagem principal já tinha vivido 10 vidas diferentes e uma delas era numa nave que explodiu.

No, no, no, no, no,. There's "No way" No body is better than Morbius, and Morbius sucks. I would support outlawing this movie. It's that stupid. Just make it illegal, stop the bleeding so to speak.

I liked the non-linear aspect. I also enjoyed the multiple timelines. Very neat movie.

Note to self: Haven't watched it fully. Quit after finding it uninteresting after 20 minutes or so.
