Critics Consensus

The 9th Life of Louis Drax is intriguing and visually compelling, but its disparate parts are never truly woven into a satisfying whole.

Read Critics Reviews

Kevin Maher Times (UK) The film promises a fabulous twist that never comes, and delivers instead some cutesy magical realist touches (lots of interior boy brain stuff) and a palpable lack of chemistry between Dornan and Gadon. Rated: 2/5 Oct 10, 2016 Full Review Tasha Robinson The Verge Louis Drax shoves magic and monsters into a story that's already overpacked with grindhouse violence, a police procedural, a queasy romance, and incoherent social commentary. Sep 7, 2016 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) [An] odd, intriguing film ... Rated: 4/5 Sep 4, 2016 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse A handsome film that feels like Guillermo Del Toro Lite. Aja's film isn't quite as deep or magical as it thinks it is, but it's a nice, mostly entertaining adaptation of a complex novel. Rated: 3/5 Mar 1, 2021 Full Review Jorge Loser Espinof The aesthetics of a television melodrama, a pastiche that wants to be more ingenious than it really can. [Full Review in Spanish] Aug 20, 2019 Full Review Sean Mulvihill FanboyNation.com There was potential for The 9th Life of Louis Drax to be something more than it is, but it just holds itself back in so many different ways. Rated: 2/5 Nov 1, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Руслан Г Недооцінений фільм глядачами. Дуже прикро дивитися на низькі оцінки. Я розумію критиків, які вимагають від усіх акторів якості гри рівня Аль Пачіно, але чому глядачам не сподобалося невідомо Головна актриса неймовірна Аарон Пол на висоті- мені його було замало в цьому кіно. Якби був відповідальнішим до вибору ролей то став би великим актором. Після початкового перегляду боровся з бажанням вимкнути перегляд- некрасивий актор у ролі хлопчика розривав мені мозок і заважав дивитися Але не вимкнув заради Пола і не прогадав. Я додивлявся стоячи , коли показували фінал Неймовірна кінцівка фільму!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Заради неї пробачити можна все Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Petra S Haven't read the book so didn't know what to expect. Enjoyed it very much, love that story, intense at times and full of unexpected turns, especially the end! Jamie Dornan and Aiden Longworth were both amazing! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/02/24 Full Review Georgan G As it neared the end I figured out what was happening. The acting & visuals were absolutely moving. Don't know why others didn't like this film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/24/23 Full Review chris Very interesting movie, well acted with some very good actors. Molly Parker's role reminded me of Olivia Williams part in Sabotage 2014 this is a compliment on my part. ❤ Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Pam L Love Jamie Dornan but this one was hard to follow. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Non si può certo dire che questo film sia poco originale; la trama è piena di elementi che uniti la rendono abbastanza unica nel suo genere. Certo è che la regia ha qualcosa dell'orrido; a partire dalla terribile scelta di colori che fa sembrare ogni conversazione provenire direttamente dal paradiso. Inoltre il montaggio è confusionario e poco coerente con lo sviluppo. I personaggi sono troppo poco sviluppati, specialmente la detective e la suocera sono del tutto esclusi da ogni tipo di attenzione che invece avrebbe potuto fornire molti più elementi alla storia. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
