Andrew James, reviewing a Toronto International Film Festival entry called Mr. Nobody, had this to say about Jared L.’s performance as the title character: “Jared Leto takes on this leading role with the strength and courage that not just anyone could have – including some A-listers that come to mind.”
Clearly off his meds, James also called the Jaco van Dormael (The Eighth Day, Toto the Hero) film “one of the oddest, most thoughtful and certainly ambitious film screening at this year’s Toronto Film Festival,” calling it a mix of “Abre los Ojos (Vanilla Sky) with Gwynneth Paltrow’s Sliding Doors… [with] some elements and the influence of such films as Slaughterhouse 5, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, 2001: A Space Odyssey and the warm hearted drama and tone of Amélie (just to name a few).”
Whew! We’re just thrilled to bits at the prospect of a new Jared Leto movie.
Andrew James has what they call ‘a soul patch’. I rest my case.
