Do give it a try. I promise you that, at least, it will have you thinking about it. A lot ;)

So, now you see why I couldn't tell you if I liked Mr. Nobody or not, right? I finally decided to focus on the good, so even with Diane Krüger I like it now. There's a lot of art and cult for art's and cult's sake in it, but I'm still impressed with it. And while I was watching it, I never would have thought they could tie everything up in the end, so kudos for that finale. And yes, Jared Leto is GORGEOUS. I think this movie is the prettiest he's ever been.

Wow, not a sinlge film with less than five stars. You're generous today :D

Yeah, now I see. So you managed to *suffer through* all the Kruger bits, and come on the other end *liking* the film? Quite a feat from Mr. Nobody, huh? You must have *really* liked it :D Kidding aside, I completely agree with you art and cult for art and cult's sake. That's what I thought they could do without and come up with a much nicer film. I mean, there were things that were *really* out of place. You could see that the person was trying really hard to artsy-fy (bear with me making up words here lol). But I don't think they really tied everything in the end, did you really? I mean, there were tons of unfinished business. Anyhow, I second your Leto statement. Prettiest ever! Actually this *whole* film is pretty as hell. I forgot to mention that on the review. A+ on cinematography and photography, plus the camera work was spot on. Brilliant, I dare say. Don't you think?

I know, right?! I'm even surprised with myself :) Although Caramel scaped a 4 by less than an inch. I truly felt generous with that one.

Well, since almost everything was pretty much imagined anyway, it was all tied up for me :D Of course I had a million questions afterwards but somehow I could let them slide. And yes, the movie is oh so pretty. I thought about capping it, but it would only result in 986 screencaps.

This is a pretty harsh review that I actually could agree with - if the movie wasn't so pretty that I just don't care about those complaints: http://www.indiewire.com/article/mr._nobody/

Well, I thought that it wasn't as much imagined, rather it was predicted/played-out in the boy's mind so he could make a decision. Since, you know, the angel missed him and he could see the future. Anyhow, it definitely did not tie up *everything* for me. For instance -- one of many big questions, but perhaps my biggest one -- if the boy faced with the so-called "impossible decision" decided *not* to choose, well, even if he ran to the woods it would come a time (real fast, like minutes) that he would have to live with his mom or dad. Which was it? *I* had to answer that question for myself. Or did I miss something? I let them slide as well, but still. You should cap it. I'd definitely snag it if you posted it ;)

I also agree with pretty much everything. My biggest issues with the film are definitely there, but the biggest difference is that *I* actually enjoyed. Unlike the reviewer :D
