Will (Winston Duke) spends his days in a remote outpost watching the live Point of View (POV) on TV's of people going about their lives, until one subject perishes, leaving a vacancy for a new life on earth. Soon, several candidates — unborn souls — arrive at Will's to undergo tests determining their fitness, facing oblivion when they are deemed unsuitable. But Will soon faces his own existential challenge in the form of free-spirited Emma (Zazie Beetz), a candidate who is not like the others, forcing him to turn within and reckon with his own tumultuous past. Fueled by unexpected power, he discovers a bold new path forward in his own life. Making his feature-film debut after a series of highly acclaimed and award-winning short films and music videos, Japanese Brazilian director Edson Oda delivers a heartfelt and meditative vision of human souls in limbo, aching to be born against unimaginable odds, yet hindered by forces beyond their will...

"An absolute masterpiece."
— Tasha Robinson, Polygon
"One of the more striking directorial debuts of recent years."
— Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter
"A life-affirming epiphany, 'Nine Days' is cinema of a higher calling, spiritual without denomination."
— Carlos Aguilar, Los Angeles Times
"Edson Oda’s 'Nine Days' is one of the most unexpected experiences I’ve had in almost a decade of going to Sundance."
— Brian Tallerico, Rogerebert.com
"Nine Days marks Oda as one of our most exciting new directors, a filmmaker possessing an innovative cinematic mind with a heart to match."
— Jacob Oller, Paste Magazine
"Edson Oda’s script is incredible. It asks so many philosophical questions without being preachy or pedantic. It successfully reminds us how precious all of our lives are, which is no small feat."
— Lorry Kikta, Film Threat
"The breakout 'Black Panther' star showed his range in 'Us' almost a year ago, but what he accomplishes here is on a completely different level. Nine Days is the sort of original cinematic art that, these days, is few and far between."
— Gregory Ellwood, The Playlist
"At the risk of overselling Edson Oda’s ultra-original, meaning-of-life directorial debut, there’s a big difference between 'Nine Days' and pretty much every other film ever made. 'Nine Days' invites you to re-consider your entire worldview."
— Peter Debruge, Variety
