    I think, I liked it!

    Okay so, I watched The Burden of Nine Lives because a friend wouldn't shut up about it-and I'm still not sure I "got it," but I kinda loved it? It's weird, emotional, super slow at times, but there's something magnetic about it. The main guy is either losing his mind or finding himself-I still don't know-but it kept me hooked. The music was haunting in a cool way, and visually it's gorgeous. Like, some scenes could literally be paintings. It has this dreamlike flow that sucks you in, even if nothing big is happening. I wouldn't recommend it for a movie night with snacks and laughs, but if you're in a quiet, moody vibe-go for it.

    Low-Key and Thoughtful

    There's something really thoughtful about The Burden of Nine Lives. It doesn't rely on big plot twists or loud action. Instead, it just tells a very human story about a guy trying to make sense of his life after everything's fallen apart.

    I appreciated how grounded everything felt. It doesn't try to spell everything out for you, which I liked-it kind of expects you to think and feel along the way. The vibe is somber but not depressing, and by the end, you feel like you've walked through something with the character. It's a solid film with real heart and quiet moments that linger, offering insight into loss, healing, and personal growth.

    LMAO

    Bots and maybe cast and crew members of this trash of a movie came on here to up the numbers so you can waste almost 2 precious hours of your life, watching his garbage.

    Don't do it.

    They literally just got wack ass gangsters and a few novice/amateur actors and tried to make a point on this one.

    But it's most definitely the greatest fail of the year.

    Trust me. I'm not mincing words. Every word i'm putting down here is how i genuinely feel about this movie.

    I've never really done a review on IMDB but i had to come here and create an account just to review and post a rating! Sigh. God save us from having horrible experiences like this one!

    An Understated Gem That Sticks with You.

    I wasn't sure what I was in for with The Burden of Nine Lives, but it turned out to be one of those rare films that sits with you for days, echoing long after the credits roll. It's quiet, slow-moving, but so emotionally packed and layered with meaning. The lead performance is strong and subtle-there's a lot being said in silence, through glances and restrained gestures.

    It's not an easy watch if you're looking for something upbeat or fast-paced, but if you appreciate introspective films that carefully explore what it means to carry guilt, face the past, and try to move forward, this one's absolutely worth your time. The visuals are stunning in a quiet, contemplative way-nothing showy, but deeply intentional and poetic in how they frame each moment.

    Great Vibes, But Left Me Wanting More

    The Burden of Nine Lives is definitely one of those films that sticks with you-even if you're not entirely sure why. It creates this moody, surreal atmosphere that's visually stunning. The cinematography, lighting, and sound design are top-tier, and the performances feel raw and real. That said, I did find myself waiting for something bigger to happen. The story moves at a slow pace and leans heavily into symbolism, which might not be for everyone. Still, I admire its ambition and the way it invites you to interpret things for yourself. It's not a typical crowd-pleaser, but if you're in the mood for something artsy and introspective, it's a solid pick.
