    Couldn't keep my attention very well. Although, like most movies filmed this way... I like to watch how the stories intertwine.

    Nine short stories about the lives of nine women all in one film and all connected. Amazingly beautiful human stories, honest to god I was moved to tears on so many occasions. Robin Wright Penn was just mind blowing, the array of emotions that woman went through in such a short p...( read more)eriod of time is oscar worthy.

    A collection of nine different vignettes, stories and lives of nine distinct women, by Colombian writer-director and short-story expert Rodrigo García (son of Gabriel García Márquez). An anthology about death and loss as well as a tribute to women. Unusually tender, perceptive ch...( read more)aracter study sustained by stellar performances from a who's who of talented (and many underused) actresses. A fine, beautiful and undervalued film.

    Nine stories of nine different women. Sometimes slightly connected, sometimes not. Each vignette is filmed with a lot of freedom given to the actors. Much of the dialogue was ad libbed and the people felt totally real to me. Not contrived at all; simply natural.

    But even m...( read more)ore interestingly, each 10-12 minute scene is completely un-cut. They are each one long shot. That is not easy to do.

    Not the most entertaining movie in the world, but interesting to watch these actors ad lib; including little Dakota Fanning and the rest of this great cast as they tell nine stories about the foundations and walls of relationships and the uncomfortable and unescapable situations we find ourselves in.

    Just a weird movie, it just shows you little clips of 9 womens lives. Doesn't really have a point or purpose, very anti-climatic. The end just leaves you hanging wondering what the hell just happened.
