Reviews


75
Philadelphia Inquirer - Tirdad Derakhshani
With its clever structure and pacing, its range of emotional notes, and its remarkable use of magic realism, The 9th Life of Louis Drax makes for an absorbing and memorable mystery.
75
The Seattle Times - Soren Andersen
The picture is like an onion. There are layers here, and beneath them more layers. Peeling them back with surgical skill, director Alexandre Aja reveals complicated family dynamics.
60
The Guardian - Peter Bradshaw
The result is a supernatural mystery thriller, slightly overcooked and tonally odd – and uncertain if its juvenile lead is supposed to be cute or sinister. But it is watchable and even intriguing in its weird way.
60
Total Film - Jamie Graham
As in director Alexandre Aja’s Horns, the action alternates reality/fantasy to middling effect.
50
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Kate Taylor
The result is an intriguing but uneven thriller that doesn’t fully establish the tone and style that would be needed for an audience to accept its supernatural plot.
