	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"A film of dizzying conceptual ambition — “No Exit” meets “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' —while no film can possibly be an antidote to suicide, this one poignantly reminds how lucky we are to be here"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"One of the striking directorial debuts of recent years (...) this is a special, one-of-a-kind work that announces a significant talent."	POS
United States	Gregory Ellwood The Playlist	"This isn’t just creative. It isn’t just imaginative. “Nine Days” is the sort of original cinematic art that, these days, is few and far between."	POS
United Kingdom	Anthony Kaufman Screendaily	"'Nine Days' is a stellar feature debut (...) And Winston Duke, who appears in just about every scene in the film, offers a complex portrait of a wounded man."	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"No matter its celestial implications, the movie can’t shake the impression of a brilliant concept that never takes flight."	NEU
United States	Alex Billington First Showing	"An extraordinary film that dares us to re-examine our lives, and rediscover all the little moments that matter"	POS
United States	Sheila O'Malley rogerebert.com	"Oda's touch is extremely controlled, and the actors are so connected to what they are doing, that the film doesn't feel manipulative. The catharsis, when it comes, is exhilarating (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Leslie Felperin The Guardian	"Awkward but still striking (...) A visually striking work that blends metaphysics, moral philosophy and melodrama into a potent movie cocktail. The result is flavoursome and distinctive (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
