While 9 Songs is sexually explicit in the basic sense, its DIRECTNESS is what's most fascinating, and ultimately most moving, about it.

By Stephanie Zacharek FULL REVIEW

New York Post

The film accurately reminds you, if you need reminding, what it's like to have your mind hijacked by somebody's body.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

With no previous acting experience, she's (Stilley) a natural between the sheets but a rank amateur between the vowels.

By Rick Groen FULL REVIEW

Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Michael Winterbottom's erotic drama isn't so much a story of a love affair as an anatomy of a sexual relationship.

Film Threat

Slate

9 Songs could have been "Last Rock Show in London." Unfortunately, it's stupefyingly dull, even with good music and at the short but resonant length of 69 minutes.

By David Edelstein FULL REVIEW

San Francisco Chronicle

This disappointing new film from director Michael Winterbottom ("24 Hour Party People") suffers from a similar malaise: It's poetic and pretty, strives for profundity without attaining it, and finally ends up saying nothing.
