Synopsis

Nine Lives is a moving exploration of the individual experiences of nine women as told through nine single unbroken takes. As characters from one story reappear in supporting roles in others, Rodrigo Garcia, master of short-film anthologies, interweaves a grand tapestry of universal resonance that hinges on performances from an incredible ensemble, including Robin Wright Penn, Sissy Spacek, Holly Hunter, and Dakota Fanning.

Reviews

"This beautifully sculpted poetic naturalism has more in common with the expressive use of words in the great screenplays of '40s and '50s than with modern movies."

   - Sean Axmaker, Seattle Post-Intelligencer

"What could have been a parlor game becomes a surprisingly rich sketchbook, boosted by the work of fine actors."

   - Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

"Together they add up to a film that may be the closest movies have come to the cinematic equivalent of a collection of Chekhov short stories."

   - Stephen Holden, The New York Times

"A bold film both in its storytelling strategies and its filmmaking logistics."

   - Kirk Honeycutt, The Hollywood Reporter
