There’s only so much machismo an audience can take

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 28, 2023

I adored this!

Feels as if this filmmaker doesn't know a Fellini from a linguini.

| Original Score: C+ | Mar 19, 2020

Nine cannot help but be a limp facsimile of a film that is so full of life and brio.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 12, 2019

It's just so visually stunning and beautiful and different that I think that if you're an animation fan it's definitely one that you should have seen.

| Original Score: B | Feb 13, 2019

You'd be hard-pressed to find a better cast in any film this year.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 21, 2018

Day-Lewis shows a previously unseen penchant for song and dance. Cruz, though, is the real star turn with a very sexy number. But in parts it's flat, and some more melodrama or plot would not have gone amiss.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 4, 2018

It's a funny and not the least bit disingenuous moment that speaks to both the power of good storytelling to draw in people regardless of creed, and to the power glamor has over even the most ascetic individuals

While Fellini pondered the possibilities of sin and redemption, Nine 's all-singing, all-dancing, all-laughing remake proffers a mindless celebration of capital S (as in silly ) sin.

Though the film is uneven, it is worth seeing for the good parts. Daniel Day-Lewis does a credible job.

Though it wasn't the best movie musical, Nine certainly had its moments.

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 11, 2017

A painfully formulaic message, trite dialogue, and a strangely episodic narrative structure that renders the whole thing exhausting.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Apr 12, 2016

It's an over-the-top, eye-popping musical that doesn't completely satisfy, especially compared to it's original source classic.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 11, 2015

Largely, the numbers just sit on top of the dramatic action, adding little to our understanding of the characters and seldom contributing to the advancement of the story.

| Sep 24, 2014

What we get is a film that is close in story to Fellini's film, but which needed more time for its actresses and better music to make it all worthwhile.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 24, 2012

Day-Lewis, over-egging the angst as well as the Eye-talian accent, is charmless and insufferable. But the person you really want to slap is Marshall, whose brash directing style simply doesn't suit Nine's more whimsical charms.

| Original Score: B | Feb 14, 2012

A migraine-inducing maelstrom.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 17, 2011

It has a lot to gnaw on, but it's worth gnawing on.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 11, 2011

Sensual musical about love and art has mature themes.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 31, 2010
