The Architect decides.

Rating: 7/10 (3 April 2014)

Intricately woven parallels form to capture loves many trifles in Mr. Nobody. It's hard to understand what's more important, knowing who you are or knowing when you are. An old man referring to himself as Mr. Nobody reminisces on many timelines to illustrate to quasi-immortals what his life has been like as "the last mortal" on earth. He struggles through his Dementia to determine which timeline was reality and which was illusion based on the choices he perhaps made. All of Mr. Nobody's memories revolve around his love for 3 women. Anna's love, being the most epic, in my opinion.
Director Jaco Van Dormael uses water, monotonous argyle sweaters, and a blowing leaf in the wind to symbolize the choices made or unmade by a young Mr. Nobody called Nemo (Jared Leto; Dallas Buyers Club, My So-Called Life) who is fetchingly innocent and dedicated to those he loves.
These images play out beautifully on screen, making a long running time bearable. Don't try to make sense of an old man's ramblings until he tells you what to make of them in the end. Waiting until 2092 might be the key or flipping a coin to choose which way to run could get you right where you need to be...
