❝How can I go on to watch the whole of my existence end up being nothing that I planned?❞

This wasn't the greatest watch, despite the stacked cast and intriguing premise.
The plot could've been interesting if Guido wasn't such an asshole. Watching him blunder and ruin every relationship with those around him was painful, and it didn't help that the pacing was so odd. I did like some of the songs, however there were so many and I would've preferred more dialogue to actually move the story onwards; I understand that it's supposed to be a musical, but it felt like there was a song every few minutes. The costumes and sets were absolutely stunning, though, and there was some great camerawork during the songs.
Marion Cotillard stole the show, and gave the best performance in my opinion. Daniel Day-Lewis was good, but it didn't feel like he put as much effort into the role of Guido as some of his others, and apart from Judi Dench I felt that the rest of the cast was very lacklustre.
Overall Nine was a disappointing experience and I probably wouldn't watch it again.
