Finding a film as simple, honest, and emotionally overwhelming as Hirokazu Kore-eda's "Nobody Knows" is such a rarity that the occasion truly warrants the kind of critical overload showered on 2004 favorites "Sideways" and "Million Dollar Baby." The problem in writing about it lies in figuring out what's left to say about a work so seamless that it almost short-circuits discussion.
