Our take

Echoing Iñárritu’s early cinema for its episodic structure, this drama from director Rodrigo García offers a poignant glimpse at the entwined yet disconnected nature of everyday life. With an ensemble cast including Dakota Fanning and Glenn Close, Nine Lives uses the long take to gripping effect.
