klemm1 This movie is pure, unadulterated crap. Characters are uninspired and totally lost. The actors are asked to say and do such stupid things for no reason it is embarrassing. The script is such a mess it is hard to even begin how terrible it is. I think an 7th grade child could write a better script. There is nothing remotely good about this film. Don't waste you time watching this tripe. Anyone who gives this more than 1 Star should be banished to Iceland to live with the monster... it better killed by the monster.I think this could be a cult film It is so awful.

desertsunflower99 This simply told, yet beautiful story sends the viewer on an oddly compelling journey. Iceland somehow feels like the top of the world in a manner unexpected but close in symbolic alignment to it's location on the globe. We visit an alternate reality where even monsters can have insightful things to share with us mere mortals. Though *this* monster is far more than reluctant to get involved in our protagonist's intractable quest. She wants answers to a mystery and finds the the seemingly tiny universe 'up there' contains within it a reality larger than is initially obvious: questions beget more questions. Crisp, gorgeous photography is the canvas for this modern day, grown-up's fairy tale & and incredibly talented cast. Sarah Polley is, as usual, at the top of her game. If you enjoy her film work you won't be disappointed. An easy 10 stars.

taybey666 No Such Thing is really a weird film if we consider the story, characters or editing. The characters in the movie is symbolic figures more than real people. Although there is a monster in the movie, the movie does not give us information about how and why it is emerged. This fact signifies that the movie is more like satirical a one on human relations, politics and media. It has an unusual humour, that we did not get used to, about how people, media and politics handle the unusual or interesting things without having respect to unusual by using it on their behalf. Also we can say that this movie is not really an active

dekab4040 I do not understand the ending. Was she dreaming the sequence of events due to going into a coma during the worst part of the operation, or did she recover and all this really happen---what I am curious about is why the apparatus used to kill the beast was the same type used in her operation to help her walk. Can anyone help me out? I did think it was a clever movie as I am not usually one to sit and watch movies a lot; especially one I have never heard about. It was well-done and quite unusual and kept me there until the end. With her face continually being superimposed in the ending, it appeared that she may also have either connected with the "beast" or changed places or actually the "beast" was her injury.
