[The News Bot]

9 Songs will most likely go down in history for being one of the most explicit movies in British cinema history but that does not in itself make it a good film. Despite wanting to enjoy it, I found myself both bored and sceptical that there was any plausibility let alone purpose to the enterprise, other than merely to push the boundaries of cinematic sexual taboos to the next (and probably final) level and become famous from it. The video and audio presentation are perfectly fine and in fact the gig tracks sound particularly good in six-speaker surround sound and there are some thought-provoking extras included on the disc. I suspect many will simply have to see it because of all the controversy but beyond the real sex and nudity, there is little else of value. No chemistry, no love, no romance and no sexiness.
