Critical Response
upon its premier at the 66th Venice FF, Mr Nobody was positively received with a ten-minute standing ovation from the audience. Rotten Tomatoes reports that 71% of critics have given the film a positive review, with an average rating of 7.8 out of 10. Jennie Punter of 'The Globe' and 'Mail' praised the film stating "Van Dormae holds this fracture fairy tale together by giving it an emotional core and delivers two hours of time travel with a playful spirit and at a mostly hyper-kinetic pace, sprinkling it with amusing side journeys and sometimes letting a scene unfold at a more natural tempo". Bruce Kirkland of jam! gave the film four stars out of five and wrote, "Expect the unexpected. Try to answer the unanswerable question that write-director van Dormael poses. It is a worthwhile exercise". He also described Leto's acting as "Marvelously full-blooded, brain-spinning, tour-de-force performance". Fred Topel, writing for Screen junkies, praised the films artistry, saying "All of Nemo's lives are painful. No matter what he chooses, he experiences heartbreak death of loved ones, his own death, and clinical depression. Mt future seems brighter, but the film makes the strong point that every experience is worthwhile. The goal isn't to choose the easiest path. It is to live".
Well, 'Mr Nobody' is my favorite film of all time so I would give it a 5 out of 5 straight away. I have many reasons for loving this film and i shall tell you. Firstly, each and every persona of Nemo (you might not get what I'm saying if you have not watched it) is thoroughly well developed and you believe everything that persona stands for and believes, at some points its quite hard to think that he is only one boy/man. Secondly, the film includes many religious and scientific theories throughout which overlap; making you think both science and religion could work together. This is because the whole idea of Nemo is related to religion and heaven etc, but then everything that happens on earth in Nemo's life is explained as science, mixing the two together creates an amazing product (in my opinion). Also, the film has a lot of emotional and relatable scenes, I believe that not one person could watch this film without relating or taking something from this film in some way. I cannot stress how good this film is seriously watch it. Also the cast is incredible and all the actors preform incredibly making the very unimaginable seem possible
