The Best: Nine Days
In Nine Days, Winston Duke (Black Panther) is Will, a former human who now spends his afterlife deciding which souls get to become human. He puts them through various tests, assessing the essence of their being and eventually, picks one to rise to Earth. This grand idea certainly could’ve been told on an equally grand scale, but Nine Days isn’t that. It’s a small, intimate, provocative film. Will’s methods challenge not only the souls but the viewer as well. And as he slowly tries to widdle down his selections, Will finds himself a changed being. It’s a beautiful, star-studded movie (Zazie Beetz, Benedict Wong, and others co-star) that will stay with you long after the credits roll.
