Nine Lives (2005)

I am still not sure how I felt about this movie. On one hand, I really loved it, I loved the rich female characters, I loved the way that somehow everything was connected, which I feel very strongly about, I loved the concept of 9 little vignettes, etc....however, on the other hand, I hated how each one seemed cut short. Some were worse than others, but I felt incomplete on at least half of them. I need more from a story, I guess thats why short stories aren't really my thing, and this movie was like a bunch of short stories strung together. I thought Holly Hunter was fabulous, I miss her being in movies more often, she is truly talented. I also thought Sissy Spacek was especially good, but I always like her too. I guess I wanted it to be a bit more like Playing By Heart, or maybe even Crash, where I feel like things were resolved, and still be connected in small ways. This was good, but not as good as I had hoped.
