Review of Mr. Nobody (2009) by Schnitzelpoof — 26 Jul 2021
A jumbled mess of ideas, whose weight was evidently too great for the writer-director's shoulders. A group of completely unlikable characters, involved in unconvincing, utterly infantile love stories. Not one of the actors could sell the roles given to them. A plot that takes too long to develop trivial parts, while under develop integral notions of the lofty concept. Thus, the supposed mystery and riddle of what is happening takes backstage to the bad romances and uninteresting lives, and when it's FINALLY time for it to be unraveled, I can imagine only the most zealous viewer would still bother concentrating.
Two and a half hours is too short to develop so many ideas, while at the same time too long for a slow, dragging movie. Thus, the execution of each one remains lacking, or plain bad.
If someone threw money at me to waste so much of the viewer's time, I wouldn't be able to live with myself.
