"Sometimes a product's creative integrity requires that it not quite attain a ten - but when it comes to the cinema of big ideas,
The Nines
is as close to divine perfection as you are likely to get."

Anton Bitel
3.5/5
"August may be peddling some absurd New age "secret", but at least it allows him the benefit of stronger and more coherent storytelling."
CinemaBlend.com
Brian Holcomb
8/10
"When I read that Ryan Reynolds was playing not one, but
three
characters in this movie -- one of whom is gay -- my ticket pretty much bought itself. They had me at 'himbo'."

"Overall, I responded to
The Nines
as a sly Cronenbergian chess game of the mind. As impenetrable as it becomes, it's easy to perceive that this is straight-from-the-heart work from August."

Brian Orndorf
3.5/4
"A challenging loop of spiritual indecision within the confines of a city known for quick creations and their inevitable consequences."
eFilmCritic.com
Erik Childress
2.5/4
"The payoff fizzles, but the buildup is intriguing until it topples under its own weight."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
2/4
"All three stories don't congeal into the grand sum profundity that August so clearly is striving to suggest."
Mr. Brown's Movies
Michael Dequina
2.5/4
"Ryan Reynolds may not be a demigod (much less a full-fledged deity), but he plays one to sterling effect in
The Nines
."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
3.5/5
"With an almost Donnie Darko sense of apocalyptic mystery, writer-director August really gets our heads spinning."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
7/10
"A valid exploration of chaos and control told by a guy who knows. Good low budget sci-fi with a hip side."
