9 Songs although suffers from a thin plot, which consists of two lovers Matt and Lisa who meet at the Brixton academy during a Black Rebel Motorcycle Club concert. Normally with a plot like this you would expect a cliché of a romantic comedy were the lovers connect threw something they have in common. Not here, instead of funny situations and soppy dialogue. we are thrown into the couples life of A-class drugs, rock concerts and intense sex life.
Which is the films downfall. Its all very exciting watching the couple have real sex on screen but its about 20 minutes threw when i wished it would of been a bit more like all the other romantic chick flicks. The acting is acceptable, cinematography is of grade A standards and choreography of the sex scenes make it seem like a real couple having sex and not as if it was intended to be a porn film.
The film isn't a major bomb it does show the lives and loves of young people in greater London well enough and the music is good if your into Indie and Rock music but after 62 minutes of intense graphic sex and little dialogue and strong plot you'll feel kind of cheated.
I would of given this film a 5 for originality and footage of the concerts but I'm going to give it a 6 for a good effort by Michael Winterbottom.
