The synopsis of this film really piqued my interest, as I'm very much into philosophical stories with supernatural or sci-fi elements. Nine Days is no doubt a beautiful film in both visuals and sound, and the overall story is thoughtful and poignant.
I think where this film loses points is that it really sort of falls short when it comes to trying to evoke strong feelings from the audience like this sort of story should. The main character was a bit dull with a blank stare throughout most of the runtime, and I just didn't really care about him much by the end. It didn't really try to go anywhere bold or unexpected with such an original premise.
Moreover, by the end you don't really get a satisfying conclusion, it sort of just drifts off. I won't say that the film is forgettable, but it could have been a lot better with a more polished script and a bit more investment in the main character. I appreciate the quality attempt though. 6.5/10.
