A film that can be hated for the very reason it is loved.

Rating: 6/10 (10 March 2014)

Mr Nobody whilst scraping at a genius level caliber could have just as easily been created by a child. The movie is in non-linear fashion and often so disjointed from one scene to another that the viewer's perception of time and reality is challenged.
Without ruining the movie; its premise is based around the idea that there are infinite possibilities in life so as long as the protagonist(Nemo) doesn't make a choice. Once a choice is made however, the viewer is given a snippet of the journey Nemo takes as a result of this one choice. Whilst not in chronological order the movie's pivotal point is when Nemo as a boy has to choose between a life with his Mother or Father who have chosen to separate.
The varying paths shown in the movie as a result of the choice Nemo makes as a child are dramatically creative however it instills a desperation in the viewer to discover the conclusion to the story. I personally found the premise to this movie quite exceptional but was disappointed with how everything was tied up in the end. Since the nature of the movie is non-linear, arty and disjointed it may be inappropriate to desire a well-knit conclusion; however all in all I don't believe the message communicated in this movie should take 2 hours and 30 minutes.
I think when evaluating a movie it is important not to make it more intelligent than it is. In summary the sheer duration of this movie disengaged my interest and I watched until the end purely because of the time I had already invested in the film.
