Leave your thoughts about The Nine Muses.
| Village VoiceNick PinkertonThe result is not without beauty, though at a certain point, one begins to notice that each new muse rather resembles the previous, a uniformity that restrains the film from true symphonic swell. |
| CineVueClaire RamtuhulAkomfrah's use of literary touchstones seems fresh, renewed and wholly comprehensible when combined with the archival images they accompany. |
| Empire MagazineDavid ParkinsonSpoken word, music and imagery come together to create moments of transcendent beauty. Wise and rather wonderful. |
| ViewLondonIsabel StevensThe Nine Muses is a beautiful, elegiac cinematic poem that demonstrates a highly inventive and singular approach to the treatment archive footage. |
| Total FilmTom DawsonIt's a demanding, high-brow watch, yet ably conveys the rootlessness and dislocation of the immigrant experience. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineMore like a cinematic poem or art installation than a movie, this swirly collection of imagery - some new, some found - loosely traces the nine muses from Greek mythology. And it's for adventurous filmgoers only. |
| Time OutGeoff AndrewA fragmented but highly engrossing cinepoem on the related subjects of migration and exile, isolation and memory. |
| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsMuch of this is majestic. But a thought kept fidgeting in my head. Do we need quite so many dead white males singing the tragedies and trials of the black experience? |
| GuardianPeter BradshawEngaging and pregnant with ideas, although some of the juxtapositions work better than others. |
| New York TimesPaul BrunickAt once austere and conceptually overwrought, The Nine Muses is both too much and not enough. |
