Nine

"Nine is one of those rare things: a sombre musical, as gritty as it is glittery. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)" 

"Nine is a savvy piece of musical filmmaking. Sophisticated, sexy and stylishly decked out, Rob Marshall's disciplined, tightly focused film impresses and amuses" 

"Nine (...) is a ravishing looking beast. (...) smart, sexy, occasionally sorrowful film" 

"Nine marks the number of terrific acting and singing talents poorly used in this flat rendition of the Broadway musical. (...) one never gets inside the protagonist's head. So one can't decide whether his problem is too many women or too many musical numbers breaking out for no reason." 

"Flawed but frequently dazzling 'Nine' is a hot-blooded musical fantasia full of song, dance, raging emotion and simmering sexuality. (...) [Marshall's] work is visionary and electric. And the script (...) is uncommonly witty. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"
