Desertman84 Nine Lives is a collection of related short stories wherein each is a snippet from a woman's life and each shot in one uninterrupted episode. Their themes include parent-child relationships, fractured love, adultery, illness, and death.It is a series of overlapping vignettes, each one running about the same length and told in a single, unbroken take, featuring an ensemble cast that includes Sissy Spacek,Glenn Close,Holly Hunter,Lisa Gay Hamilton,Kathy Baker,Amanda Seyfried,Amy Brenneman,Robin Wright Penn and Elpidia Carrillo among many othersIn these episodes, Holly has a brief moment of reverie while confronting the specters of her past in her old neighborhood. Maggie escorts her young daughter Maria to a cemetery as they visit the graves of their family members. Ruth is a married woman contemplating an affair while visiting Henry in his hotel room. Diana unexpectedly runs into an old boyfriend, Damian, while shopping for groceries. Camilla is a hospital patient awaiting surgery for cancer.Samantha is a teenage girl who helps look after her handicapped father Larry. Sandra is a female prison inmate who is expecting a visit from her children. Sonia lashes out at her boyfriend Martin when she finds out he's been cheating on her. And Lorna has an unexpectedly moving encounter with her ex-husband Andrew as she pays her respects to his second wife, who has just passed away. The film is bolstered by a strong and talented cast ensemble and it features many insightful glimpses into the lives of women from different walks of life.The stories are sketches, often without resolution, and while individual segments succeed admirably, taken together the portraits are a fitful match.Also,it is a movie that demands concentration of the viewer to get the rewards the one is willing to pay attention.Although it is far from a perfect film and some episodes are more interesting and more entertaining than the others,it remains a delight to see.

Michael_Elliott Nine Lives (2005) *** 1/2 (out of 4) Writer/director Rodrigo Garcia's tale of nine women and their nine stories is certainly a unique film but I'm not quite sure about the payoff. I think a second viewing is going to be needed because I felt the film started to get a bit long because after six or seven of the nine stories I started to think about the earlier stories conclusions, which made the current stories seem to drag. In the end there wasn't any conclusions so perhaps I just missed something. Either way, I'll view this again at a later date. Even with that said this is a highly interesting and brilliantly directed piece that should be seen by any movie fan. The performances by the ensemble cast is downright terrific. Kathy Baker, Robin Wright Penn, Amy Brenneman, Glenn Close, Sissy Spacek, Dakota Fanning, Joe Mantegna and Aidan Quinn are just some of the names here doing great work. Those I didn't mention were also great. The real star was Wright Penn who delivers the best work of her career. I did love the fact that the stories were told in real time without any edits.

simon-psykolog This movie contains nine small movies, each done in one take. The situations are very ordinary and although this idea is splendid, the unfolding of most of the stories are boring to watch as there is little or no point to them. There simply is too little progression or development in these short-stories and we never get really involved. Some of the stories are connected but never in a way that adds anything to a meaning. It is only coincidental.Mediocre is the word I find most suitable to describe this movie which means that I can't recommend it. If you like to see movies that deals with everyday life then I would recommend the movies done by Mike Leigh, who is dedicated to description of everyday life, to you (especially "life is sweet").Regards Simon

FilmCreature Nine Lives is a moving and mostly realistic drama set within the lives of nine different women. I didn't know what to expect when I rented it from Blockbuster, but I was very surprised, it is sad, but also very affecting.All of the actresses put in memorable performances, namely Holly Hunter, Robin Wright Penn, and Glenn Close. Hunter plays a woman with a jerk boyfriend who can be a prick to her sometimes. Penn plays Diana, who meets her old lover, Damian (Jason Isaacs) whom she should never have separated from. And Glenn Close plays an older woman who has a picnic in a cemetery with her daughter (Dakota Fanning).It is a film I will not soon forget, and I am glad to have rented it.3.5/4
