Best movie ever!

Absolutely brilliant

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I really liked the first part but after that it really starts to become ... nothing.

Nothing as an idea had huge potential, but the movie just didn't quite pull it off. First of all, there is no reason ever given to why these guys suddenly have this power to wish away everything they hate. Immediately they wish away everything but their house (because they're reclusive agoraphobic nerds) which sort of writes the Writer into a corner. It doesn't take long for the characters to explore nothing and then learn to live in it & enjoy it. Instead the characters could have spent a lot more time in the normal world exercising this new power slowly throughout the movie until maybe toward the end there is Nothing. This would have had a more satisfying storyline as the viewer could sort of feel like they're vicariously vanishing life's problems along with the character, only to learn the moral is that if you don't learn to live with your problems, you'll eventually wish away EVERYTHING....just an idea.

As a fantasy, it's great. Apart from an original imaginative world, it gives a new supernatural power : The oblivion (forget the thing, anything, and in no time it'll disappear forever), inviting us to forget what we hate. But what if you hated everything and everyone, including yourself ?! Artistically it's fine too. The direction, the music, the cinematography, the acting, the set and oh yes, the CGI, all of that looked terrific. The script has many good lines and situations. It creates so fresh atmosphere, while leading the pace in such a thrilling way. And no doubt it is one unpredictable movie where you're dared to know what is going to happen later. So, where is the problem? I know. It's in that very script. Deeply in the feeling that moves it.Let's see. At first you may think that it's about facing a mega-cruel world, with a real horrific intro by the way. Then, after a while, you may think that it's about hatred, and how forgetting, wise one, can solve a lot, making the peace with one's self on one hand, and one's self with the world on the other hand. But it isn't about this or that. It is simply about friendship. Originally it doesn't focus on the outward world, since the goal is deep down inside the human. It's about the comprehension of the importance of not forgetting the friend, the love. The movie tries to assure that changed yourself or not, in your world or out of it, at any cost you have to have a friend, with arguments and problems, but not hate. Because when you don't have one, then you have nothing. Yet, that freaky ending degrades in a way the cuteness of the mix, saying that moral shockingly !I felt disappointed eventually, simply due to the tragic sense of it; whereas the 2 leads knew the truth about the greatness of "being together" while "admitting the love", and "being honest" however after totally destroying everything and everyone including themselves. So it confirms the constructive power of love, yet adversely; by confirming the devastative power of hate. Yes, we're accustomed to have these sweet meanings about love sweetly from Hollywood, and now this is the nightmarish way for it. But in fact what really disappoints is that while the movie cautions about hatred, it hated its 2 character's dumbness so powerfully !It's one of the best movies ever made about friendship. It mixes pretty well delightful infancy with black comedy, fantasy with psychoanalysis. You just have to know well what it talks about to understand and enjoy it. And be ready for its much hatred to its leads who hated, especially each other, much !

Tweaked a little bit, 'Nothing' could be a children's film. It's a very clever concept, touches upon some interesting metaphysical themes, and goes against pretty much every Hollywood convention you can think of...what goes against everything more than, literally, "nothing"? Nothing is the story of two friends who wish the world away when everything goes wrong with their lives. All that's left is what they don't hate, and a big empty white space. It's hard to focus a story on just two actors for the majority of your film, especially without any cuts to anything going on outside the plot. It focuses on pretty much one subject, but that's prime Vincenzo Natali territory. If you've seen 'Cube', you know already that he tends to like that type of situation. The "nothing" in this movie is apparently infinite space, but Natali somehow manages to make it somewhat claustrophobic, if only because there's literally nothing else, and nowhere else to go. The actors sell it, although you can tell these guys are friends anyway. Two actors from 'Cube' return here (Worth and Kazan), but are entirely different characters. They change throughout the story, and while they're not the strongest actors in the world, they're at least believable.The reason I say this could be a children's film under the right tweaks, is because aside from a few f-bombs and a somewhat unnecessary bloody dream sequence, the whimsical and often silly feel of this movie could very much be digested easily by kids. So I find it an odd choice that the writers decided to add some crass language and a small amount of gore, especially considering there isn't very much of it. This could've gotten a PG rating easily had they simply cut a few things out and changed a little dialogue. There is very little objectionable about this film, but just enough to keep parents from wanting their kids to see it. I only say that's a shame because not because I support censorship, but because that may have been the only thing preventing this movie from having wider exposure.At any rate, this is a reasonably entertaining film, albeit with a few dragged-out scenes. But for literally being about nothing, and focused entirely on two characters and their interactions with absolutely nothing, they do a surprisingly good job for an independent film.
