Mr. Nobody

“Van Dormael has crafted a saga that, even at two-plus hours, is endlessly, enormously watchable.”

Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post · 100

“van Dormael’s vivid visual sense and genuine curiosity about the nature of love and life, time and death, make it well worth surrendering to his imagination for a while.”

Marc Mohan, Portland Oregonian · 83

“Van Dormael's intriguing script is more than matched in his flamboyant direction of this 2-hour-plus tale, heroically edited by Matyas Veress and Susan Shipton into a fluid, generally understandable narrative.”

Deborah Young, The Hollywood Reporter · 80

“Writer-director Jaco Van Dormael (“Toto the Hero”) spins flashbacks and time-lapse photography, stunning montages, whirling, circling cameras and stunning underwater, deep space and Martian landscape photography into a film that is as intentionally opaque as it is overlong.”

Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune News Service · 75

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

Ben Kenigsberg, The A.V. Club · 75
