What is Mr. Nobody about?
Nemo Nobody leads an ordinary existence with his wife and 3 children; one day, he wakes up as a mortal centenarian in the year 2092.
Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)
It leaves the ending open to interpretation.
A man's life unfolds in multiple realities, a dreamlike journey through love, loss, and profound choices.
Surreal and melancholy. A late-night trip at a measured pace. Emotionally it is heavy.
Streaming on Prime Video, Kanopy (free), Hoopla (free), The Roku Channel (free) and Fandango at Home (free).
