Danny’s diary entry for Mr. Nobody

protolexus’s ★★★ diary entry for Mr. Nobody

I liked this much more the first time around. The novelty of the structure and surprise made it much more impactful on the first viewing.I think this movie is unique in that it doesn’t care so much about telling you a story as giving you a space to reflect on the choices that you have made in your own life. Many movies allow for that after the credits role, but the director wanted you to engage with your own life as you watched, and see yourself through the eyes of Nemo Nobody. This isn’t a given, and if you don’t recognize that or are not onboard, you probably won’t like this experience.Hear more of my thoughts on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/53PG11BVG4v8xNPixwyN0v?si=VU7no1d0QUi-Xuyn8AYcyQ" rel="nofollow">70mm</a>.

Sean Allen’s ★★ diary entry for Mr. Nobody

Nemo Nobody aged 118: “Everything works out in the end, even badly.”Well I guess you could say this movie “worked out in the end”I thought I had seen this movie before. I had definitely started it. But by the time I had checked how much was left til the end my 5th time I realized there’s no way I sat through this. There’s some great cinematography and some creative transitions, which I guess is important for a movie that changes its tone and setting about every 90 seconds. The ideas on entropy being reversed were kinda cool. I wonder if Nolan watched this and was inspired to make Tenet. Kinda doubt it.  [ <a href="https://www.imdb.com/media/rm1577331456/tt0485947" rel="nofollow">Top Shot</a> ]

groogruxdave’s ★★ diary entry for Mr. Nobody

This got so tied up in its own knots, it never helps the overarching story being told. I think I know what they were trying to pull off but couldn't see the forrest for the trees by the end of it.  One star for soundtrack and one for use of color to help each narrative.  By the way, where did adult Nobody's accent go? Did I miss something

Mike Scott’s ★★ diary entry for Mr. Nobody

Mike’s ★ diary entry for Mr. Nobody

Every time I thought I understood the point of something in this movie, I lost it immediately. Lots of half-thought out ideas told in a non-linear manner to convey some sort of intelligence or cleverness. Not to mention the very uncomfortable, incredibly ON SCREEN romance between teen Anna and Nemo.Leto's performance was dull, and the only enjoyable performance was from Sarah Polley. The only thing that kept my attention throughout this movie was the quick cuts like the snap of a finger. It was as if director only wanted to keep my attention, not produce something worth watching.

mike’s ★★½ diary entry for Mr. Nobody

Appreciate the concept and big, big swings this goes for. Bold choice to make the longest movie of all time though.

Sean Cohen’s ★★ diary entry for Mr. Nobody

This movie knocks French films by saying “nothing happens”, well here everything happens but none of it matters.  I’ll take the former every time.
