SpecialsTarget Disturbing yet enthralling

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

estronbase This film is too sad.Yes, it was well made and acted but I honestly can not understand how anyone could claim to enjoy this miserable story.

Naren k What a beautiful movie this is. The story of abandoned kids doesn't necessarily be associated with streets and rags. 'Nobody Knows' is one such movies , set in Tokyo, of kids that are result of a careless mothers who abandons them and the struggles they go though. This has taken me through an emotional roller-coaster with out any actual major drama but huge shift in characters maturity. The performance of kids is mind blowing. Story was told in very subtle tone with great intensity. Superb photography and great background soundtracks . There are very less verbal conversations in this movie which makes it easy for an non Japanese like me.

windows-romania I honestly don't know what to say. I'm actually crying right now, I've just finished watching the movie and it was outstanding. The actors were amazing, and the story, well... It's one of the best movies I've ever seen, I'm definitely giving it 10 out of 10.After their mom left I wished I could help them in any way possible, it was just heartbreaking to watch (even through it was just a film) and not to be able to do anything :( I'm not going to say anything more, you all NEED to see this movie. You won't regret it, I promise.Hopefully there will be more movies like this one in the future, but less real cases :)

duksoe Nobody Knows was a very touching film. I found the plot of this film is quite similar to the Japanese Animation film, The Grave Of Fireflies (1988), which I happened to watch several moths after I had watched Nobody Knows. Definitely the motives of these two films are different. While the director of Nobody Knows was inspired by the true story of abandoned children in Tokyo in 1988, The Grave Of Fireflies is based on the autobiographical novel of an author who experienced the World War II as a young boy in Japan. Nevertheless, the way these two films move audiences' hearts is almost the same in the sense that the leads in both films are all innocent children who are exposed to a tough situation without any proper protection. If you have already watched either one of these two films, I'd like to recommend the other. Because your heart would be moved the same as when you watched the other. Despite the similarity between these two films, none would diminish the level of touching impression of the other. It is just the same manner that the audience who already knows much about King Lear would still receive the fresh, strong and touching impression from the Kurosawa's Ran. Of course, in case of Nobody knows and The Grave Of Fireflies, none is the adaptation of the other. (*)
