Review of Nine Days

Nine Days (2020)
6/10
Simplistic premise + strange parameters = I don't know how I feel about it

It's a simple film, which was fine. The message is a good message: live your life every day to the fullest. However, the set up and process that govern the film are a really strange.... VHS tapes? Old TVs? Rusty filing cabinets in the desert? "Applying" for soul recycling yet the applicants seem to not know how they got there and they won't remember they were there? Not saying the visual needed to be futuristic but it seemed so antiquated.... I guess if it felt more "real" than surreal I could have accepted it more easily. I still felt there were parts that could have been explored more instead of the focus and direction that the film ended up going. If you are a deep feeling emotional type person this might be the one for you, so I'd suggest giving it a try to judge for yourself.
