Critics Consensus

The unerotic sex scenes quickly become tedious to watch, and the lovers lack the personality necessary to make viewers care about them.

Winterbottom proves that nonstop sex intercut with alternative music can be exceedingly boring. Go to Full Review Zoe Williams London Evening Standard 01/12/2018
The film is not great. It's not even all that good. And sometimes, it's actively annoying. Go to Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter 11/01/2005
As satisfying viewing experiences go, the film comes up mighty short in terms of story, interesting characters and technical prowess, not to mention a 65-minute running time. Go to Full Review David N. Butterworth La Movie Boeuf 06/09/2019
2/4
Dear Mr. Winterbottom. Intercutting unsimulated sex scenes with concert footage does not a movie make. Love, David B. Go to Full Review Shaun Munro What Culture 01/03/2012
2/5
One cannot entirely condemn Winterbottom, because the film is not without its meritorious moments, yet at the same time, 9 Songs doesn't effectively traverse the line of glorified pornography, so much as it narrowly scrapes past it. Go to Full Review Fernando F. Croce CinePassion 09/05/2009
It has the rough, penciled-in feel of a sketch, flurries of palpable physicality left along the path of a dissolving relationship Go to Full Review Read all reviews
