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

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.

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

It is the film that has marked my way of understanding life, every time I watch it again it shows me something that transforms, inspires me or simply makes me see the importance of my decisions. The soundtrack that accompanies the film is a perfectly designed jukebox.

Tried way too hard to be artsy. Super tedious movie. Story telling was weak. Great, if your not looking to be entertained. Ironic that it was so focused on the concept of time.. because you're never getting the time back that you wasted watching it.

Mr. Nobody is not a film for everyone. Explores the problem of "choice" in a totally original way. Some scenes are explosively powerful and the themes touched upon with humour, poetry and surrealism such as teenage love, the trauma of divorce, ageing. Love it, or hate it, definitely a movie worth seeing.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

A truly incredible one of a kind film. The premise is not just intriguing but also thought-provoking, leaving a lasting impact on the viewer's mind. The unique non linear storytelling is so captivating. The distinctive directing style is fantastic. From the very beginning, it's evident that this is a cinematic gem, due to the many powerful elements harmonizing in concert to create an unforgettable masterpiece.
