Critics Consensus

A knockout feature directorial debut from Edson Oda, Nine Days is an ethereal and evocative film about the meaning of life - elevated by a phenomenal performance from Winston Duke.

Nine Days is, in its subdued way, a profound and powerful commentary on life.

3/5

Although arguably a smidge too ponderous and self-serious for its own good, Nine Days still represents a reasonably promising debut for its writer-director Edson Oda.

Despite its many imperfections, including feeling more like a play in the way that the characters interact, “Nine Days” works because it manages to convey abstract concepts of joy in existing, loss, pain, and death.

4/5

Seen through the eyes of five souls competing to be born, Nine Days is a poignant analysis of existence that reminds us of what makes life worth living.

“Nine Days” is the most powerful and profoundly beautiful film I have seen in years. This is a true masterpiece and I hope that it receives the attention it deserves. I was deeply moved by this film.

a bit slow paced and there was too many unanswered questions at the end. For example, they would show that someone wrote something, but not show what they actually wrote, which annoyed me. One person fell asleep in the theatre

Wonderful everything I loved it all still thinking about it a day later. Totally a wreck at bicycle scene and last scene. You must go if you need a reason to live right now.
