Sure, a movie like "Nine Days" must be commended in its unadorned artistic aim for the skies, but the execution is rather clunky. There's certainly enough here to provoke meaningful questions that transcend the boundaries of the frame, and Nine Days hits a commendable note about the value of embracing life's unpredictable turns. But no matter its celestial implications, the movie can't shake the impression of a brilliant concept that never takes flight.
NINE DAYS is a hypnotic & transcendent motion picture experience. We've seen movies explore life after death before & here we get to see life before birth. Winston Duke delivers a powerfully controlled performance filled with soul & anguish.
He ascends to a whole new level here with some truly stunning work. And unlike Nine Days, it arrived with a sense of pedigree: writer-director Lee Isaac Chung's first film, Munyurangabo, about two Rwandan youth, made a huge splash after debuting at Cannes in. With Bill Skarsgård, Zazie Beetz, Tony Hale, Winston Duke. A reclusive man conducts a series of interviews with human souls for a chance to be born. This is a movie that some people will hold very close to their hearts, and one I'm eager to see again out of the pull of fest exhaustion. Our Teacher Edition on Nine Days can help.

The Buzz The Legends Young Celeb Movie. The structure of this book - encountering nine characters on pivotal days for each - means there is dramatic tension in every chapter. The rich characterisation and distinctive structure reminded me of Jennifer Egan's Pulitzer-winning A Visit from the Goon Squad - one of my favourite reads. With a background of war, and an inner city.
