LOVEFiLM Review 9 Songs

  • 3.5 stars out of 5  

    By Tom Charity from LOVEFiLM

    Michael Winterbottom may have made the most sexually explicit film ever to receive a mainstream UK release, but it's also a touchingly emotional portrait of an all-too-brief romance with an achingly hip soundtrack.

  • A study in human relationships

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By Sarah Thomson from Glasgow, Scotland , 30 Mar 2005

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    What better way to monitor the relationship between two people than through their sex life? This film does exactly that, watching the different ways the couple explore & abuse each other as their feelings are born, grow, change & in the end die. You could say the sex is another way of charting the life of the average person. The backdrop of the gigs also follows this pattern. They provide a distraction from the sex & time for the viewer to reflect on what the film is saying about the couple at that point in time. The sex is strong, graphic & real. It is most certainly not for the prudish. The film is interesting, sexy & touching in places.

  • Nine thongs

    Rated - 1.0 star  
    By Bobsview (554 reviews) from Gloucestershire , 07 May 2013
    A poor soft porn and not so soft porn drama. Said to be the most sexually explicit film ever put on general release. Based on a rock star performing 9 songs in concert with each performance interspersed with an explicit sexual encounter with his girl friend. But it is not erotic , and the characters are not developed, there is no story, and almost no script. Don’t bother.

  • Graphic porn

    Rated - 1.0 star  
    By a customer , 29 Apr 2013
    Graphic porn disguised as a film. No plot, character development or reason to watch. Even the live bands didn't make up for it. Fine if you want to watch porn.....

  • Sex and (prescription) drugs and rock 'n' roll....

    Rated - 1.5 stars  
    By BBush (11 reviews) , 20 Apr 2013
    I can't imagine anyone watching this film without having some idea what to expect but what they get is a series of droning bands and de trop sex scenes - though the ejaculation is a bit of an eye-opener. Truly a come-down from the man who made the superb 'Welcome To Sarajevo' and the interesting 'C*** and Bull Story' (which could be this film's sub-title,really.) But he has always been an erratic director and I imagine his forthcoming 'Carry On Up Raymond's Revue Bar' will also be divisive.

  • disgusting and terrible

    Rated - 0.5 stars  
    By a customer , 16 Apr 2013
    This film is nothing but a porno. no storyline, bad acting, and extremely graphic. this should not be classed as a drama, not at all. if you`re looking for porn then its probably your type of thing. if you`re looking for something watchable, dont bother. I switched this off a third of the way through
