"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."  musicOMH.com  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'."  AfterElton.com  Brian Juergens

B
"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."  DVDTalk.com  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."  Monsters and Critics  Ron Wilkinson
