Weird. That’s the feeling that hits you about 10 minutes into The Nines. But when something’s weird you tend to continue watching out of curiosity. The concept of parallel universes is a bold one to undertake on screen, and while the film is hardly a failure, it’s not a resounding success. With the lead actors taking multiple roles, what starts as a dark comedy slews into Truman Show-style paranoia and finally into slushy TV movie territory. Still, worth seeing just to spend some time with God. Told you it was weird.
