“Nine”: New York Times Pan
I will eventually get around to seeing “Nine,” for Daniel Day-Lewis if nothing else, but as I am no fan of the original Broadway show I can’t say I was unhappy to see A. O. Scott’s screed against the movie version in today’s New York Times. Money quote: “Straining to capture artistic frenzy, [“Nine”] descends into vulgar chaos, less a homage to Federico Fellini’s “8 ½†(its putative inspiration) than a travesty.”
