Nine Lives Reviews
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
A disturbingly frank look at people and relationships in contemporary Los Angeles and a thrilling dramatic showcase for a brilliant cast.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
Some parts are stronger than others, but as a fleshed-out artistic vision, Nine Lives works remarkably well.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
[Garcia] leaves you thinking deeply about these people. And leaves you wanting more.
Associated Press
David Germain
The stories are sketches, often without resolution, and while individual segments succeed admirably, taken together the portraits are a fitful match.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
Nine Lives is an elegant film of quick, tour-de-force acting turns, a simple actor's gesture that tells you more than four pages of dialogue, a movie that demands concentration but that rewards the viewer willing to pay attention.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Composed of nine short films, each starring some of the best female actors working, though many of them aren't working enough.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
What's the point? If I wanted to spend 12 minutes watching someone pushing a cart around a grocery store, I'd go to the local A&P, not sit in a movie theater.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
As delicately and precisely constructed as a spider's web, Nine Lives is a quiet triumph.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
The cast steps up, embracing the chance to exercise acting chops normally limited to live theater. Most do so resoundingly, but two stand out: Robin Wright Penn and Jason Isaacs.
Denver Rocky Mountain News
Robert Denerstein
In looking at the lives of nine very different women, Garcia often seems to be closing in on something essential, small suggestive moments that attempt to resonate with meaning. Some do. Some don't.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Not all of Nine Lives clicks, but at its best it finds an inarticulate sisterly solace that makes you want to see what this director could do with one life per film.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The greatest short story writers, like William Trevor and Alice Munro, can awe us; their stories are short but not small. Here Rodrigo Garcia does the same thing.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
It feels like real life, in nine acts.
Zap2it.com
Dan Fienberg
It's unclear why Garcia continues to choose to limit himself to these diluted portraits, rather than the layered and textured worlds that his writing and directing hint at.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
Certain characters and their particular pains become so engrossing in their 10-minute bits that it's sad to see them go.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
But when a piece works, like Penn's, Garcia's film soars, the over-theatricality of the artifice forgotten amidst the brilliance showcased by the actors onscreen.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
If only every women's movie had Nine Lives' fire, intelligence, and conviction, they wouldn't have such a shaky reputation in the first place.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
The moments that Garcia has chosen to observe are unforgettable, the women -- played by an ensemble of actresses at the top of their respective games -- indelible.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
The cumulative effect of the rigorously controlled and purposive camera style adds up in the end to a collective portrait of womankind that is greater than the sum of its parts.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
An excellent ensemble drama by writer-director Rodrigo Garcia.
