From NetFlix:

Three stories intertwine and creatively converge in John August’s film that stars Ryan Reynolds, Melissa McCarthy and Hope Davis in multiple roles. This offbeat trilogy begins with “The Prisoner,” about a popular TV actor under house arrest; “Reality Television” follows a TV producer’s struggle to launch a new series starring his close friend; and “Knowing” features a video game designer seeking help for his family stranded by car trouble.

Depending on your viewpoint, “The Nines” is either imaginative, confusing, or just plain boring. I stuck it out to see what on earth was going on. For me the “solution” was a little hard to accept. The acting is not bad. It is not a stupid film or a B-movie. But I warn you that this strange piece is just not for everyone including children (not because of the “naughty” words but because no child on earth is going to understand this bizarre trilogy). Enough said.
