This is the most boring movie I've ever watched. There is no plot, no story, and nothing interesting about it. It's just two pasty, below average people having the most vanilla sex I've ever seen. I have no idea what kind of drugs the people who are rating this movie favourably are doing, but I want some. I watched this at home and fast forwarded most of it due to the mind numbingly boring sex and lack of dialogue; I have watched actual pornos for longer than I've watched this movie.The leads have absolutely no chemistry, it's painfully obvious that they're strangers. The only interesting part of this movie was that one of the "9 songs" was a great live version of "Last High" by the Dandy Warhols about halfway through. I absolutely recommend skipping this and either watching an actual porno or an actual movie, this mess isn't worth checking out.

I just saw this movie, and in the era of easily accessible pornography, it wasn't all that shocking (back when it was released was a different world altogether though I imagine).The most poignant part of this movie is that it chronicles a 'real' relationship via the most intimate part of a relationship, sex. ***SPOILER***At first I didn't get it: music act, sex, music act, sex, dinner, music act, sex, music.....you get the ideaHowever, if you actually watch the movie, it starts to paint a picture. A man meets a young woman, and they are on borrowed time before she goes home. They have this intense, physical, totally carnal relationship, but he falls in love and she doesn't (or can't?). They don't have a way to say "I love you" (baring the one scene where they do say it at the height of lust so it's unclear if they meant it or not), so they just have a lot of sex. Yet, they have their ups and downs and struggle like everyone else and they clearly have problems trying to understand what it all means.This is not a film to watch for 'watching' sex...you can find that with a goggle search easily. It's also not a film to watch if you don't want to 'see' sex, because it's openly there.This is a film to watch however if the idea of watching real-life happen intrigues you, and you don't need violence or clichés to portray that story.

Have sex. Watch concert. Talk about Antarctica! Then repeat nine times. Never has a movie outstayed its welcome at 70 mins, and this one was unbelievably boring in every single way. Brave actors getting their kit off- but badly acted, and is a rather pointless slice-of-life movie that is actually directed by a competent and interesting filmmaker; whose resume includes the very excellent 'Cock and Bull Story' and interesting dramas such as 'Go Now' and 'A Mighty Heart'! Though I haven't seen enough of Michael Winterbottom's films to really judge his overall career, '9 Songs' is certainly a blemish on it, but the question is, would I have actually bothered with this movie if the controversial subject matter did not exist? I don't deplore sex in movies, but please have a reasonable plot with this sort of experimental art-house that feels the need to inundate with actual real sex on cinema! Make the plot interesting. This is definitely more raw than pornographic, but if it wasn't for the controversy, I doubt anyone would have seen this rubbish!0.5/5 or 1/2* out of *****!

Honestly, when I came across the movie, I was attracted to its cover picture along with its title. Seriously, the way movie started was really fascinating. But as it went on gradually, it became disappointing since I found hardly any content in it. The plot seemed to have lost somewhere. Kieran O'Brien was good. Margo Stilley, however, could have given it a better shot. One thing I was hooked to it because of its music,9 rock songs. Otherwise there are many other better pornographic pictures made till date. It is not worth buying tickets for this movie. Otherwise, if you really don't have anything to do but fetish, watch it.Lol!
