SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

garabedian123 I thought the movie was just really weird the first time I watched it. Years later Since it came out on netflix I decided to watch it again...I dont' know how it confused me so much the first time around. Its open to interpretation as well...especially the ending.I believe that we are watching in infinite loop of the universe but each time it resets, Nemo chooses a different path so that at the end it is clear that we are watching the universe over the infinity of its existence of expanding and contracting. In some timelines they go to mars..in others the human race becomes immortal...that is if you can call it immortal carrying around a cloned pig...but anyways. Its seperate from the theory that each action happens in its own universe..because in this universe everything eventually happens

kentrowe Mr. Nobody is a strange movie. And I mean that in a complimentary way. It is a bizarre piece of science fiction involving mental illness, time travel and the concept of life and death. What makes it even more spectacular is that is it stunning to look at- seriously one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen. Jared leto has a knack of picking offbeat scripts and he s bang on the money in choosing this one. What can I say...I think you should give this film a choice but beware that it is a bit heavy handed and clocking in at 2 and a half hours quite long to boot. However, for those who enjoy an offbeat tale this is a great 2 and a half hours of escapism into a fantasy land.

AnonymousFilmLover26 "Mr. Nobody" - well, the title is admittedly a little strange, but this movie will appeal to the more open-minded moviegoer, in the first place. This is by far the best film (yes, a piece like this is definitely more than just a movie) I've seen in a long while. It might not be officially classified as an epic, but I personally would disagree. "Mr. Nobody" has all the hallmarks of a wonderful film wrapped in a unique package, and yet, it's extremely hard to explain basic plot lines in this story. Therefore, I will go big picture, and just say this: "Mr. Nobody" is about life, and time, and all the choices we make, or don't make. Broad? You bet. But it's the only way to properly discuss this film (which also features a great and eclectic soundtrack).In short, I would say that this is a bit of a mashup between "Okja", and the early work of Tim Burton (circa Edward Scissorhands, 1990), but the ideas and concepts it explores are all its own. The colors are vivid, the cinematography is well done, and the character development (though there are many characters and plotlines, included in a mostly non-linear fashion) is absolutely spot-on. Honestly, I don't know if I've ever watched a more original film. I do recommend, however, the following tips when watching:*This is a film that truly deserves your attention. Keep the distractions to a minimum for the best experience (even though you'll want to watch it over again once you finish) *Watch this with at least one person, if possible. This is literally the best movie I've watched so far this year. I only turned it off about 15 minutes ago and I have the urge to turn it back on, AND recommend it to everyone I know. (Including you, IMDB people! :) Seriously, you won't be sorry.

bryanhchu Listen up. If you want to watch a intellectually stimulating film with a very unorthodox structure, watch Memento. If you want to watch a sad surreal film, watch Synecdoche, New York. If you want to watch a happy surreal film, watch The Grand Budapest hotel.This is one of the coolest concepts of storytelling ever. Unfortunately, it is executed badly.First let me state the good things about this movie. It has a very cool concept. It has very pretty cinematography. Some of the shots are beautiful and creative. Some of the acting is nice at certain parts. And I have to admit, it is quite unique. A lot of it is just pretentious nothing, but some of it is quite unique.Now the bad things.Firstly, there is so much just random stuff that has nothing to do with anything. Why is he explaining the butterfly effect? Why are they talking about pigeon experiments? What's with the angels and the babies? Why the hell can he see into the future? Why does the model version of the world in his room match perfectly with the real world? Why are all the endings of the timelines shown at the beginning? How does any of this change or impact the emotional value of the movie anyway?The movie doesn't really start until thirty minutes into the movie, when he's running after his mother in the train. It is prefaced with thirty actual minutes of just nonsense that is simply there to confuse you and make you think there is symbolic meaning behind it or some shit. Once it does start, it's....... bad. Nemo has almost zero character at all, in every single timeline. The tiny bit of characterization that they give him makes him very unlikeable. He pretends to kill himself so much that his mother isn't even surprised anymore. This is supposed to make me like him? He "falls in love" with people through a montage of slow motion shots of them looking pretty instead of actually having a natural conversation or having any chemistry at all. The plots don't have any direction. You just kind of watch his life happen. There is no goal he is trying to reach or problem he is trying to over come. There isn't really a "point" to the story. Sometimes this works fine, like in Forrest Gump. But that was a masterfully written script that is so engaging that it manages to pull it off. This movies does not. For the most part the acting is passable for the adult actors. The same cannot be said about the child actors. They are bad. Very bad.You know how this film could be fixed? Cut out all the philosophical garbage. Cut out the plot line in the future where he's old. Don't spend so much time explaining to the audience the concept of the movie and just show them the actual movie. Stop explaining how the story had multiple timelines and they are all just as real as one another. Make Nemo a normal kid who doesn't see into the future. Switch between the different branches of the story in a clear and consistent way where the audience knows what timeline they are in at all times. And most importantly of all: Tell the story of a (relatively) normal person that branches out into several wildly different but all (relatively) normal storylines. If you want to tie several timelines together in a cathartic way, do it subtly, through music and editing.The bottom line is that this movie is very pretentious and squanders a perfectly good concept.
