A man (Kieran O'Brien) reminisces about his steamy affair with an American woman (Margo Stilley) he met at a rock concert in England.

Critics Consensus

The unerotic sex scenes quickly become tedious to watch, and the lovers lack the personality necessary to make viewers care about them.

IndieWire

Winterbottom proves that nonstop sex intercut with alternative music can be exceedingly boring.

London Evening Standard

The film is not great. It's not even all that good. And sometimes, it's actively annoying.

La Movie Boeuf

Dear Mr. Winterbottom. Intercutting unsimulated sex scenes with concert footage does not a movie make. Love, David B.

Rated: 2/4

What Culture

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.

Rated: 2/5

CinePassion

It has the rough, penciled-in feel of a sketch, flurries of palpable physicality left along the path of a dissolving relationship

Muuuito fraco. O roteiro, praticamente não existe, as bandas dão sono e o casal é tão sem sal que dá dó. Mas tem cenas bonitas e olhe lá...
