Drama In the middle of the night, Magloire smokes a cigarette in an abandoned train station when the police show up for an identity check. He starts running with no luggage and no future until he meets a dying man from whom he inherits a fortune. Subsequently, Magloire is chased by a gang and – having nothing to lose – he becomes not only their hostage, but also their accomplice.

	Author	Review
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"A weird and wonderfully shot throwback of a thriller (...) Rather than following the story, it’s best to just immerse oneself in the rich atmosphere"	POS
United States	Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"[It] kept checking off a lot of my personal-taste boxes while never quite satisfying me (...) [It] relates its narrative without much back story or conventional connective tissue."	NEU
	Muriel Del Don Cineuropa	"A dark and mysterious film full of seductive and ambiguous characters (...) Elegant and cool but never trivial"	POS
Canada	Martin Kudlac Screen Anarchy	"[It] turns noir into expressionism, delusional ramblings into existential poetry and vice versa (...) '9 Fingers' is a cinematic dada-punk exercise"	POS
United States	Keith Watson Slant	"Ossang’s stubborn unwillingness to adhere to even the most basic conventions of storytelling becomes a bit wearying, even if there’s nevertheless something liberating (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
