The 9th Life of Louis Drax review

A young boy has a terrible accident and a doctor starts to investigate his life.

The 9th Life of Louis Drax is based on the best-selling 2004 novel of the same name by Liz Jensen and it’s pretty darn weird.

Now there’s nothing wrong with weird and there are plenty of moments where this sense of strangeness adds to the mystery around Louis Drax’s short and odd life. Add in some serious visual style and a curious tone and this film by Alexandre Aja is definitely not what you might expect.
