Nine Days (6.7/10)

This new sci-fi/fantasy film hooked me with its concept. I was excited going in. The themes are rich, the characters are well-drawn, and the acting is strong. But despite all those strengths, the execution just didn’t click for me. The pacing dragged, and the dialogue-heavy approach made it a slog to get through. By the end, I admired the ideas more than the experience itself. Great on paper, but it didn’t land the way I’d hoped. "A man interviews five unborn souls to determine which one should be given a new life on Earth, with the unchosen ones facing oblivion."
