"Maravillosa. El director Fabién Bielinksy hace su debut con Nueve Reinas, y la opera prima tiene de entrada el gusto de quien se arriesga ..."
Cinenganos
Alex Ramirez

David Cornelius
2.5/4
"...by the time the end rolls around and the final twist has been revealed, it doesn't seem entirely plausible."
Reel Film Reviews

"The film sort of winks at you to see if you can follow all the hustles..."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
2.5/4
"Nothing's at stake, just a twisty double-cross you can smell a mile away--still, the derivative
Nine Queens
is lots of fun."

"So engaging, so entertaining is this Mametian feast of con games and double-crosses that the subtitles seem to disappear and the reel change marks may as well not exist."
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov

"A stingless 'Sting'...the viewer may feel that, whatever has happened to the characters, he's the one who's actually been ripped off."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
"A fast paced and suspenseful Argentinian thriller about the shadow side of play."

Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
3.5/5
"A smart, enormously entertaining thriller whose preposterous conclusion in no way diminishes the fun of getting there."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
B+
"While Bielinsky doesn't bring anything new to the table, he has a smartly engineered scheme and a good poker face, and he's mastered the essential art of misdirection."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
3/4
"Nine Queens is not only than a frighteningly capable debut and genre piece, but also a snapshot of a dangerous political situation on the verge of coming to a head."
