"As long as you don't choose, everything remains possible."

Rating: 5/10 (13 April 2019)

There is a scientific hypothesis gaining traction that says physical reality is an illusion and we all live in a computer simulation. That's actually how it felt watching this movie. The film's working proposition is that as long as you don't choose, everything is possible. What it fails to mention apparently, is that failure to choose is itself a choice. As the title character, Nemo Nobody (Jared Leto) is presented not only the red pill or the blue pill, but apparently a yellow pill as well. He takes none of them, or takes all of them, depending on your persuasion coming out of the story. The Angel of Oblivion who missed Nemo at birth obviously impacted my patience for this picture, for even though I watched it in it's entirety, there is no way to ascertain a coherent narrative from the story. That's OK if you want to be mesmerized by a movie that takes itself way too seriously without being intelligible. The best I can say about the picture is that Jared Leto portrayed his various selves competently and in full control of his faculties, even after he got shot and killed as Daniel Jones.
