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.

4/4

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.

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

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!"

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.

[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.

I'm old and understand the many fantistical journeys your mind takes you on the 'what if, what might have been'. Young viewers - if you have some unfinished romantic business troubling you - act now and leave no stone unturned...your older self will salute you.

It’s a mind bending movie that plays with the concept of time and the importance of decisions throughout life. There is a lot of adult bed scenes throughout though which idk if that was really needed.

I tend to like a good complex time-shifting mind bending movie, but this one lacks momentum and in the end leaves you barely satisfied, but not aftually disappointed.

I read several negative reviews about this movie, but something told me to check it out anyway, and it was well done beginning to end. If you enjoy contemplating life itself, you will enjoy this one. I can assure you that the negative reviews were from people who simply don't get it.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s thought provoking, it’s different, and worth watching a few times through. It’s a brilliant film, and the cast completely knocks it out of the park. Probably Jared Leto’s top acting performance.
