I kept waiting for the point of this movie ... even the music wasn't up to much. Just porn pretending to be art

If you are into gratuitous sex, then you will enjoy this movie. Certainly better than a porn flick, more sensual (from a woman’s perspective) but none the less a very thin storyline. For the record I skipped through the nine songs that separate the sex scenes.

Fell into the trap of thinking because it was so controversial it must have something to offer. It didnt!

A man lives in the Antartic and remembers all the really great sex he had with a girl he met. That's it. I had to watch the interview with the director to see what the film was about.
Was the sex graphic? Yes! Were the actors hansome/pretty? Yes. Was the music good? Yes. Was there a story? No.
Strictly for the 14 year old in you!

They shag; the sex is not great.
They go to 9 concerts; the music is not that great.
Rent "Lie With Me" if you must; but better yet, just take your partner and iPod to bed.

One good thing about this movie is the protagonists have great taste in music. 9 Songs charts the relationship of an American girl and a Londoner who meet at a music gig. Interspersed with graphic sex scenes, which do become tiresome after a while, the film is a fairly standard boy meets girl story. Not for everyone.

This 'movie' (and i use that term loosely) is so awful, it's very sad to admit that the highlight is watching English Actor Kieron O'Brien receiving oral sex and then ejaculating onto his stomach.

Wayne

If you're looking for porn that you can rent through Screenclick, this is not it. If you're looking for a film that you might enjoy, this is probably not it either. So poor that I watched it during 3 ad breaks during and after Questions and Answers. The Fast Forward button never got so much use, brief pauses to see Margo Stilley try and match Paris Hilton at her one real talent (!) aside. She's probably not quite up to Hilton's level, but does use your feet pretty well.

Woeful. Banal script, good songs. If you want explicit sex scenes, "Lie With Me" is significantly (in relative terms) better.

Is basically it we even watched the bonus bits to try and understand everyones thinking behind this I suppose if you like this kind of arty porn flick but it really was just an excuse to see two people goign at each other with some cracking live music scenes in between, weird does not sum it up enough.

Had been meaning to see this since it was released as there was huge hype surrounding it because of the sex. The music also sounded really good. However after watching it, was really disappointed. Story??? where was it? It's an hour of a couple having sex with clips of bands playing in Brixton academy

Ok, Ok, I admit it, I rented this for the sex scenes. I half expected it to be cheap and tacky despite Winterbotoom as director. But I'm glad to say I enjoyed it. The music was excellent, 'doomed' relationship believable, and the sex...
Kieran O'Brien was a very believable character, though I found his job as a glaciologist a stretch too far. Margo Silley was less believable, and I found her fragility at times a little disturbing. All in all very good. And don't worry, granny never saw it.

Steven

I appreciate this movie was quite a landmark for mainstream cinema-with the very graphic sex scenes. None the less it is quite a terrible film and the highlight for me was that Primal Scream and Franz Ferdinand featured in the movie. I wouldn't even recommend you rent it of interest. Thumbs Down

Peter

As other reviewers have remarked this is essentially a porn movie interspersed with live band videos with very little in the way of plot or storyline. Depending on its appeal one may choose to make liberal use of the Fast Forward button to zoom between increasingly explicit sex scenes or alternatively you might just enjoy the music interupped by irritating videos of real copulation

You kind of hope that she gets an STI and he goes snow-blind. Pretty crap for such a controversial movie. As other reviewers have said, completely pointless, the sex is gratuitous and not at all appealing and there's no plot to speak of. The indie clips are the high point of the movie, but if you have to rely on music clips you haven't got much of a movie, in my opinion. Do yourself a favour and spend an hour watching paint dry. It's infinitely more entertaining. I want my hour back.

Scarcely an hour in length, good footage of indie bands interspersed with barely disguised porno as Arctic Scientist and US exchange student bang their brains out. The plot? What plot?
Who was sitting around the table when the decision was made to make this movie? And what were they on? Or is it all an elaborate joke?

This was a fairly bad film. There was a lot of news about this because of the sex scenes but its no different than a porno, apart from the fact thats its more boring. Good concert scenes though and they help because you then don't have to look at the moany actors! Don't rent it!

..its a sad day when I can say this film was better for the concert segments than the sex scenes.
If you are renting this, most likely its because of its controversy over the sex scenes. Well, I have been watching films that use real hardcore sex for many years (Realm of the Senses is one of my favorites), but this one is a snooze fest. The acting is sub par, the dialogue laughable.
Just get your hands on a porno instead...
