"9 Songs" is high-art pornography that doesn't neglect its compulsory gooey payoff scene.October 06, 2005
Nice folks, fun time, thanks for the peek (I guess), and so what?August 27, 2005

Une %u0153uvre pour le moins inhabituelle qui, sans être un exercice de style complètement futile, n'est toutefois pas un film que l'on pourrait qualifier d'essentiel.January 03, 2012
One cannot entirely condemn Winterbottom, because the film is not without its meritorious moments, yet at the same time, 9 Songs doesn't effectively traverse the line of glorified pornography, so much as it narrowly scrapes past it.November 01, 2005
As satisfying viewing experiences go, the film comes up mighty short in terms of story, interesting characters and technical prowess, not to mention a 65-minute running time.September 23, 2005

The most sexually explicit legit feature film to come out of 'merry ole' England from a mainstream director.September 08, 2005
A pointless and pretentious cocktail of sex, rock 'n' roll and glaciology.January 08, 2006
I like to think -- and please indulge me on this -- that my reaction to the controversial 9 Songs has more to do with the limitations of Michael Winterbottom's latest cinematic experiment than with any of my own nihilistic-horndog tendencies.September 09, 2005
It is, at its (hard)core, a traditional sex movie with better music and naturalistic situations.
