Critics Consensus

A knockout feature directorial debut from Edson Oda, Nine Days is an ethereal and evocative film about the meaning of life - elevated by a phenomenal performance from Winston Duke.

In addition to a stunning performance from Zazie Beetz, Nine Days also features Benedict Wong, Tony Hale, and Bill Skarsgård.

Observer (UK)

Nine Days is, in its subdued way, a profound and powerful commentary on life.

Rated: 4/5

Guardian

Although arguably a smidge too ponderous and self-serious for its own good, Nine Days still represents a reasonably promising debut for its writer-director Edson Oda.

Rated: 3/5

Questions of heaven and hell, souls, and humanity have been posited since the first narrative films were created. It’s well trod territory, but Edson Oda’s Nine Days has a perspective that is lacking from all that came before it.

Despite its many imperfections, including feeling more like a play in the way that the characters interact, “Nine Days” works because it manages to convey abstract concepts of joy in existing, loss, pain, and death.

A unique concept captured by Edson Oda, the film is led by a fantastic performance from Winston Duke and beautifully captures the idea of life.

“Nine Days” is the most powerful and profoundly beautiful film I have seen in years. This is a true masterpiece and I hope that it receives the attention it deserves. I was deeply moved by this film.

a bit slow paced and there was too many unanswered questions at the end. For example, they would show that someone wrote something, but not show what they actually wrote, which annoyed me. One person fell asleep in the theatre

Wonderful everything I loved it all still thinking about it a day later. Totally a wreck at bicycle scene and last scene. You must go if you need a reason to live right now.
