Beautiful sex-scenes but even at an hour run-time the movie is just too god damn long. There’s no plot, and barely any characters. The whole artic thing was dumb and obvious, and the 9 live music performances felt gimmicky.... Full review

Any movie which tries to show sex the way it is deserves a top rating in my book. I live in a part of the US (Utah) where many sexually repressed (& therefore abused & damaged & deranged) people live -... Full review

This film shows how they do sex... So, story is not important... Don't you want to see sex of others? No? Really? I can't believe you...... Full review

This is probably the worst movie I've ever seen. I saw all these great bands listed...and was geeked! The movie was probably the most hardcore movie I've seen, including porn. Not only was it disgusting how graphically everything was shown, the... Full review

I actually left after 30 minutes so maybe i should no comment on this movie. But from one i have seen, eveything is an excuse to show a sex scene. Nothing wrong with that, but it becomes wrong when there is... Full review

9 Songs gives "artcore" films a bad name. Plotless, boring, badly filmed and -acted, atrocities like this will harm all art by giving the myopic religious right ammunition for their campaign against freedom of thought and expression. Gratuitous sex desensitizes the... Full review

This movie was quite interesting and I liked it. I saw it in Los Angeles recently and I must say, it was quite a heck of a film. Shown right in the heart of Hollywood, on Beverly Blvd. & Fairfax Ave.,... Full review

The fact that it refuses to concede to narrative needs is another matter, though, a fatal flaw. The sexual activity, all as graphically shot as any porn movie, is performed in such a slight structural context as to be almost meaningless. ... Full Review

One cute scene, Lisa flexes and poses in front of a mirror.....Michael Winterbottom hit it big with "24 Hour Party People", a frenetic look at the Manchester music scene.....Winterbottom prided himself on the frank realism of the sex scenes..... ... Full Review

Songs" strips those same themes to their bare minimum, with a big emphasis on the sex. Winterbottom prided himself on the frank realism of the sex scenes. Don't expect any deep insights into the hows and whys of the relationship. ... Full Review

The trouble with 9 Songs is its focus on the transitory....While mildly pretentious, the statement is innocuous in the context of a film more notable for its graphic depiction of carnality.....The film's most egregious annoyance is, oh yeah, its purported rockness.....However, when viewed again, the structural flaws of 9 Songs become apparent and distracting.....As the film's monotonous use of cut-happy concert footage demonstrates.... ...

However, when viewed again, the structural flaws of 9 Songs become apparent and distracting. While 9 Songs unusual treatment of love and sex remains its principle charm, its use of a rock backbeat and non sequitur Antarctic inserts appears unnecessary, at best. ... Full Review
