	Author	Review
United States	The Hollywood Reporter	"Everything comes back to the idea that human life is precious in all its complications, and every choice we make has its consequences."	POS
United States	Michael O'Sullivan The Washington Post	"Van Dormael has crafted a saga that, even at two-plus hours, is endlessly, enormously watchable"	POS
United States	Michael Koresky IndieWire	"Mr. Nobody” is as ambitious as it is incoherent, an obvious labor of love that’s equal parts science-fiction, romance, and Lynchian mind game"	NEU
United States	Ben Kenigsberg AV Club	"As philosophy, Mr. Nobody seems sillier than it is profound. But in a parallel reality, more movies would have this degree of insane ambition."	POS
United States	Boyd van Hoeij Variety	"A film that has a beating heart underneath its messy -- though breathtakingly designed -- exterior (...) Lot of it is well written and directed and, quite often, funny or poignant"	NEU
United States	Kevin Jagernauth The Playlist	"Both overblown and half-baked, too long and not edited enough, Mr. Nobody describes exactly the kind of audience it will likely get."	NEG
United Kingdom	Lee Marshall Screendaily	2Jaco van Dormael's most ambitious film to date is a mess and a miracle at the same time."	NEU
Canada	Screen Anarchy	"Jaco van Dormael launches this unique project which unifies influences from all over the Western world to create a film that pays homage to its predecessors while still standing very well on its own."	POS
