Critics Consensus: Though The Nines doesn't solidify as well as writer/director John August would hope for, Ryan Reynolds's strong performance makes each of the film's intriguing segments worth watching.

Time Out

It defies categorisation, which I love, and defies logic, which is very European. But it's also clever, funny and compelling

An interesting, if high minded, concept film that is nothing without its performers.

The sort of movie that would probably appeal to Ryan Reynolds' detractors . . .

August is on solid ground when he's riffing on Stephen King and celebrities, but he's stretching when he tries to be David Lynch, which would require a distinctly different kind of brain damage.

Common Sense Says

Befuddling sci-fi/thriller mix isn't for kids.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that although this confusing indie sci-fi/thriller may attract teens thanks to heartthrob lead Ryan Reynolds and Gilmore Girls alum Melissa McCarthy, viewers of all ages could end up more befuddled than entertained. It tackles mature themes -- sex, drugs, God, the universe -- and includes an underlying current of violence (one character is murdered). The main character goes on a massive drugs-and-drink fueled bender, and the dialogue is littered with expletives ("s--t," "f--k").
