NewMexiKen enjoyed the film Nine Lives last evening. As the title suggests, the film touches on the relationships of nine characters, all women. It does so in nine separate, and essentially unrelated vignettes. Indeed, the movie is like watching nine short stories — and, as is often the case with short stories, the viewer feels as if they’ve entered each story in the middle. Moreso, one feels as if they’re leaving in the middle, too.
The nine lives include performances by such stars as Robin Wright Penn, Holly Hunter, Sissy Spacek and Glenn Close.
Good. Provocative. Recommended.
