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

3/5
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. Go to Full Review
Zach Youngs InSession Film 07/03/2024
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. Go to Full Review
Sarah Vincent Sarah G Vincent Views 06/10/2024
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. Go to Full Review
Amy Smith InSession Film 03/01/2024

Faith 09/07/2021 I loved every character in the movie, especially Will & Emmas connection & every actors performance with their characters See more Eric 08/20/2021 “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. See more Nathan D 08/15/2021 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 See more Cody Corde 08/15/2021 OMG 😭😭 what a masterpiece a must see movie of the year it had me moved to tears. See more Danielle B 08/14/2021 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. See more Angus S 08/13/2021 Super fresh and original. One of those films that makes you truly look inward. See more Read all reviews
