His parents, who are going to separate themselves, organize a picnic for his birthday, who ends with a familiar tragedy, because the kid falls in cliff and drowns in the water. A few hours later that the doctors confirm his death, the kid recovers his vital constants and falls into deep coma.

- The Hollywood ReporterSheri Linden
"A convoluted mix of precious and creepy that quickly flatlines (...) There?s plenty afoot in 'The 9th Life of Louis Drax', all of it sliced and diced through a jumble of tones."
Read - VarietyPeter Debruge
"This undercooked thriller from Alexandre Aja (...) A disappointingly tame outing"
Read - New York TimesNeil Genzlinger
"It?s not clear whether ?The 9th Life of Louis Drax? is deliberately inconsistent or merely an example of confused filmmaking. One thing is certain, however: It sure leaves an unpleasant aftertaste."
