Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) It's as if Akomfrah is trying to make mythological connections and undo or deny them at the same time - an alienating and misguided strategy. Rated: 2/5 Jan 20, 2012 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 4/5 Jan 20, 2012 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Engaging and pregnant with ideas, although some of the juxtapositions work better than others. Rated: 3/5 Jan 19, 2012 Full Review Jordan M. Smith IONCINEMA.com It could have been a much more powerful and concise production. As is, it feels like a convoluted run-on that refuses to move the conversation forward. Nov 19, 2020 Full Review Claire Ramtuhul CineVue Akomfrah's use of literary touchstones seems fresh, renewed and wholly comprehensible when combined with the archival images they accompany. Rated: 4/5 Dec 13, 2018 Full Review Isabel Stevens ViewLondon The Nine Muses is a beautiful, elegiac cinematic poem that demonstrates a highly inventive and singular approach to the treatment archive footage. Rated: 4/5 Aug 27, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
