Nine Lives is presented in a quasi-documentary style and follows nine people connected through largely anonymous sexual encounters. I’d classify this one as “interesting” but it was a little hard to watch between the characters talking directly to the camera and the sometimes jerky camera movements. Some of the characters have some slight redeeming characteristics, but mostly they’re flawed in one way or another and not that sympathetic. The acting was good, but don’t look to this film for light entertainment, although we do get Steve Callahan in a speedo.
