Nine Lives is a collection of related short stories, each a snippet from a woman's life, each shot in one uninterrupted ten-minute take. Remarkably, this never becomes a gimmick; the skillfully writing and directing make the restriction feel essential to each story. A woman in prison (Elpidia Carillo, Bread and Roses) struggles to maintain some kind of balance despite her circumstances; the ex-wife (Amy Brenneman, Judging Amy) gets a cool reception at the funeral of her ex-husband's second wife; a mother (Glenn Close, Dangerous Liaisons) and her daughter (Dakota Fanning, War of the Worlds) have a picnic at a graveside. Each story deftly escalates the emotional circumstances; only one story feels at all forced. The acting is superb throughout--hardly surprising from a cast that includes Sissy Spacek (In the Bedroom), Holly Hunter (The Piano), Aidan Quinn (Benny & Joon), Molly Parker (Deadwood), and many more, all superb and clearly relishing the opportunity to perform such a long and complex scene (most movies rarely have more than thirty seconds without an edit). If there's a criticism, it's that the stories are almost unrelentingly serious; anxiety, melancholy, yearning, and regret are thoroughly explored--a little more humor might have provided more contrast and variety. Written and directed by Rodrigo Garcia (Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her), who shares with his father Gabriel Garcia Marquez a fascination with interconnected lives. --Bret Fetzer

I've got to give this film 5 stars,even though its not very interesting,but every scene is one shot,no cuts,thats unreal in film making.
All the actors are fantastic,and there's alot of BIG names.The actors could not make one mistake .If they messed up,the filling would have to start all over again.
The last scene with Glen Close is the most amazing.
I have to give this movie 5 stars,even though the Nine Lives are not that interesting,but every story is connected in some way.

Ok, so huge cast. This is a movie about nine women. I expected the movie to be like "Crash", have multiple stories that tie into each other at the end. They don't!!
Some of the stories are just so bizarre they make no sense. We never get to understand why these women were nuts, what they did or how they ended up the way they did.
So...whats the point?
This was just plain stupid!

Need the sins of the father be visited upon the son? Not if the terrific- nay, great, little 2005 film, Nine Lives, written and directed by Rodrigo Garcia, is Exhibit A. Garcia is the son of famed Nobel Prize winning magical realist fictionist Gabriel Garcia Marquez, of Love In A Time Of Cholera and One Hundred Years Of Solitude fame. Yet, despite that fame, the father's work, in novels and short fictions, is usually baroque and anomic in narrative, and hollow and superficial in characterization. ... Read More

What a remarkable oversight we've got here! Imagine if somebody walked up to you and said, "Hey, I just saw this incredible movie! It's about 9 different women, each with their own short story that lasts about 10 minutes. Oh, and each story is told in a single camera shot."
The premise alone was enough for me to check out NINE LIVES, a captivating collection of short dramas with an even more impressive cast. But as neat a concept as this film is, I was instantly hooked from the opening ... Read More

The movie wasn't what I expected, It just dragged and there wasn't a whole lot of important things, well to me anyway. It is kind of boring
