To twist the common literary-critical saying, Nobody’s Hero is indeed three characters in search of a story, but not an author, whose conviction in his ideas and unique method of shaping a film still marks him as un vrai original. - 75
Slant Magazine
The film goes from biting satire to broad farce and back as Alain Guiraudie fills it with both social observation and ludicrous incident. - 75

The Hollywood Reporter
The result is a somewhat uneasy mix of social critique and bizarre sex drama in which Guiraudie seems to be spitballing different ideas without making all of them stick. - 50
IndieWire
It feels as if Guiraudie had two separate ideas for a contemporary urban comedy but couldn’t figure out how to develop either of them, so he stuck them in one script and hoped for the best. - 50
