Leave your thoughts about Nine.
| TheDivaReview.comDiva VelezSplashy, glitzy and glamourous, Nine is a raucous, sexy time that brings fun and star power back into the cinemas. |
| News of the WorldRobbie CollinDirector Rob Marshall has come up with something close to an ideal modern screen musical. It is every inch a toe-tapping, show- stopping tour de force that has a big chance of snagging some gold come awards season. |
| Dallas Morning NewsLawson TaitteThe performances are all outstanding, even better than those in Marshall's Oscar-winning Chicago. |
| Bangor Daily News (Maine)Christopher SmithPoor Guido. Poor Marshall. Poor audiences, who likely were eager to see this movie (given the hype, who wasn't?), but who likely will leave it knowing they deserved better. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordA singing, dancing Italian Daniel Day Lewis is not, I'm afraid. |
| I.E. WeeklyAmy NicholsonWhere Fellini dared us to race alongside his imagination, Marshall is thuddingly cautious. |
| Associated PressDavid GermainCalculated to be show-stoppers, the songs often end up as quaint throwbacks. |

| SSG SyndicateSusan GrangerSelf-reflective and surreal, it's dazzling yet uneven, as the sumptuous whole adds up to less than a sum of its parts. |
| AV ClubKeith PhippsA joyless trudge, particularly when compared to Fellini’s vibrant original? |
