A Transcendental experience

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 2015)

With the director's cut clocking at around 150 minutes, this film never felt long. Mr. Nobody is a puzzle, a moving puzzle with dreamlike imagery and astonishing visuals. This film is certainly not one for the those who demand mindless entertainment as its a profoundly moving journey.
Ever feel like how different your life would have taken a different choice? This film moves along alternate timelines, every timeline is a result of a different choice. Each choice is difficult and life changing. A boy has to choose between his mother and father. We get a glimpse of how his life would have been for every tough choice he makes. A glimpse of how tough life is, we learn no choice is a bad choice. This film is in its core a fantasy and a romance with science fiction elements which are debatable.
Its a spiritual journey with an great soundtrack, amazing cinematography and acting by Jared Leto. As the film ended I silently pondered in amazement of everything I just witnessed. Its a thought provoking gem of a film by Jaco Van Dormael. It will surely be recognized as a masterpiece in the future.
10/10
