Movie Review: Nine Lives (2005)


Nine Lives.  Captivating.  Emotional.  Very different.  Those are the words I have come up with to describe this film. I don't think it will be everyone's cup of tea but I liked it.

The movie is actually a series of vignettes about turning points in various women's lives.  Some of these lives have a connection, albeit tenuous at best, but most do not.  They are just a study of pivotal moments.  The filming is quite interesting.  Each vignette is continuously filmed rather than a series of scenes.  And when the story ends, that's it.

The cast is totally all-star:

GLENN CLOSE
ROBIN WRIGHT PENN
HOLLY HUNTER
SISSY SPACEK
