Mr. Nobody

Actors:  Jared Leto, Sarah Polley, Diane Kruger, Linh Dan Pham, Rhys Ifans, Natasha Little, Toby Regbo and Juno Temple.
Rating:  6 out of 10, So this is what happens when the French, Germans, and Belgians get together with the Canadians to make a movie. A movie that makes you go “Huh?”  a lot as the main character, a 118 year old Jared Leto, explores his past life which careens through an ever increasing number of tangents as he remembers key decisions and then makes different choices.  There’s a kind of sweet love story buried in the middle of the wildly staggering plot lines but it’s almost buried under the non-linear approach.  I was left with the impression that there were a lot of ideas thrown up in a planning meeting and nothing was discarded.  The result was a visually stunning movie that plods on for what seemed like all 118 years of Leto’s life.

MVP:  Kruger as Anna, the destined great love of Nobody’s life
