Critics Consensus

It has a game, great-looking cast, led by the always worthwhile Daniel Day-Lewis, but Rob Marshall's Nine is chaotic and curiously distant.

The Atlantic

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.

Paste Magazine

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

Rated: 3/10

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

Half-baked and void of any real emotion or depth, NINE isn't a bad movie, but it's not that good either.

Fantastic! NINE is an audacious, sexy, sleek feast of a movie. Dances beyond the limits of what a musical can be. The story of Guido Contini's life and legacy is so inviting, and each female cast member grabs their chance to shine and steals the show. Everything is stylish and beautiful throughout the film, leading up to a semi-tragic ending and a surreal closing scene that will leave you deep in thought. One to watch again and again. Musical cinema at its very best!

I love DDL. I've seen everything he's ever done. This movie disappointed me almost as much as his retirement.

Rob Marshall's musical follow-up to his award-winning "Chicago" furthers re-enforced his sensationally dazzling knack for adapting faithfully the theatrical production value by the grasped sense, through an intriguing story under full circle and electrifying performances when radiating raw emotions. However, the impact seemingly continued his previous cinematic flaw of focusing on the main dazzlements over fulfilling nuances, particularly lesser chemistries, and elliptical seductions. (B)
