Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

seanjkraynak I gave it a two because the actors did a fine job. But when I think of a "psychological thriller" it had better have an honorable concept or moral, in this case it only provokes the opposite of accountability or responsibility. If you relate to the protagonist, you are now a god who has trouble accepting the negative consequences of your actions. You create worlds and end worlds and there is some higher purpose but it's existential. This movie was most enjoyed by the millennial new age types who have reviewed it as an "inspiring work of art" but I'd recommend you ask yourself, what were you just inspired to do? Ignore the consequences because it doesn't matter... right existentialism is a brilliant philosophy which caught on because it allows people to be happy despite life troubles. But I do not personally accept the notion that it gives us a pass to live life on a whim. This movie has a destructive concept that serves the selfish to ignore the effects of their actions and ultimately give up on the people in their lives who they've built something with. 2/10

jpndeaton I gave 3 stars because the actors did an exceptional job with a tedious story that could only be interesting to the writer. It meanders and lags often and leaves you with only an expressionless "huh". It feels insulting that the writer and directors respect their audience so little they don't even try to engage them. As much as I respect the work that goes into any production, The Nines disappoints on so many levels: transitions, interest, a point; it makes the viewer feel like you are grasping for any semblance of a point to hold on to to make it through the movie. My only question post viewing is how in the world did this get past script reviews and the almost insurmountable approval process to actually get produced with amazing actors? Statistically speaking this film is an anomaly for which I should have given one extra star.

Ivan Dean First of all,I need to say it was a good movie,not excellent in my opinion.My vote was a 8 because of Ryan's acting which was pretty amazing,like all of his roles.People tend to say it's an amazing movie,with a subliminal message that many of us don't get it.------After half an hour,I thought I'm stupid and I don't get that message,just to realize it wasn't one.So,my point is if you don't like the movie don't start thinking that you're no capable to understand this movie.------It is not a movie that needs to be fully understood,the story it's nice,I got to admit,but not what I expected.

dushyant chaturvedi This is a must watch for the fans of David Lynch. There are enough enigmas within enigmas to reel your mind. It starts with a troubled actor, played with Ryan Reynolds being sentenced to house arrest. There are two other characters. One is Melissa, his publicist. The second is Hope Davis, his sexy neighbor. He slowly begins to realize that something is wrong. The segment ends on a mysterious note. Then the second part begins with Reynolds essaying the role of a TV show writer/creator wherein he again encounters the same characters essaying different roles. The last segment has him playing a video game designer. All the three segments are related to each other in "deeply mysterious" ways. There are hints given about number nine and the connection of Ryan to the number. I can't help but marvel about Reynolds' acting prowess. With the awesome Buried and this he has totally broken through the facade of an actor who could do only vulgar comedy. Hope Davis and Melissa, particularly the latter, are very impressive. The direction by August is good and the viewer is hooked till the end. The movie falters a bit at the denouement but still the viewing experience is above average. 3 out of 5 for the Nines.
