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:
