Nine Days

POSITIVES…

  • Interesting surreal premise that is like a philosophical exercise about life. 

  • The plot effectively relies on the plot threads presented in this movie, and the characters that appear in it. 

  • Character monologues and dialogue gives you some thought provoking subject matters. 

  • Those recreated moments. Just beautiful.  

  • Intercuts between the different characters are nicely done. 

  • Winston Duke is our main character and is a fascinating individual to observe. 

  • Benedict Wong is fantastic as the character that brings about the lighter side of things. 

  • Zazie Beetz is excellent here for the wise innocence she brings into her role. 

  • Loved Tony Hale here for his characters point of view that is far more interesting than you might initially give it credit for. 

  • Bill Skarsgard begrudgingly is the character that smacks reality into our minds. 

  • Underlying final message and social commentaries makes this movie worth watching. 

  • “Pull the chair!!!!!”

NEGATIVES…

  • The character of Will isn’t exactly somebody you will immediately warm up to, and he’s the main character!!! 

  • Emma. Hello manic pixie dream girl. 

  • Slow and monotonous most of the time. Try to stake awake if this isn’t your thing. 

  • Arguably a bit pretentious, and not what one might call “entertaining.” 

  • Some might call this “too artsy.” 

  • Arbitrary unexplainable logic and rules found in the plot can be frustrating to put up with. 

  • Speaking of frustrating, this is one of those movies that really doesn't want to give direct answers. I know many who don’t like that.
