Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
A dopey psychological thriller that combines elements of "The Sixth Sense" with an overbearing sentimentality, "The 9th Life of Louis Drax" flat-lines from beginning to end.

fresh:
Works as both a children's movie for adults and a grownup movie for kids, a rare balancing act most young-adult fare can't pull off.

rotten:
What might be engrossing in Liz Jensen's source novel is oddly opaque in this screen mishmash, and much of what's meant to be tense or suspenseful is merely awkward.

rotten:
The 9th Life of Louis Drax excels at grabbing you with a steady stream of provocative and ornate images. But to what end, I'm still not sure.

Either you'll be willing to go with some of its wilder visual conceits or you won't. (I was, for the most part.)
