Billed as a sci-fi but existentialist to the core

Rating: 8/10 (28 April 2014)

After watching "Mr Nobody", I was in a bit of a daze. The story is complex to say the least but the characters and the ideas (of which there are many) kept me intrigued. I found myself thinking on the various subjects that the film touches on as the movie played out. By the end I was left with compelling and contradictory ideas that left me perplexed but I can honestly say it was worth every minute and for this simple reason ..at its core "Mr Nobody" is about love and the almost impossible choices that we have to make. It is existentialist to its core and touches on string theory, quantum theory, (but in an easy to understand way) and the consequences of the choices we make. And yet after thinking on the movie as a whole, it is about intense pain ..being torn between two loves and having to choose. As a movie, the directing is very very good, the acting very good and the cinematography is excellent. I'd highly recommend it.
