What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Mr. Nobody is a 2009 science fiction movie in which Jared Leto plays "the last living mortal" at the end of the 21st century. The circular and at times elusive overall themes and storyline make this a difficult movie for younger viewers. But for fans of speculative sci-fi exploring deep concepts of time, the universe, mortality, memory, and humanity, this is a movie that constantly engages the mind and rewards repeated viewings. In terms of content, there are some scenes of teen sex between a stepbrother and stepsister (brief nudity, female breasts). These same teens smoke pot and are shown high. As the movie explores the various directions a dying man's life might have gone, there are scenes of a car accident in which the lead character loses control of his vehicle and drives off a cliff and drowns, another when as a teen he wrecks his motorcycle and ends up bandaged and injured in the hospital, and another in which a truck filled with flammable material explodes. In another scenario, a woman he is married to struggles with what appears to be either severe depression or bipolar disorder, bedridden and sad interspersed with moments of mania and paranoia. Profanity includes "f--k."
