No classification board we can read has certified this film. We checked the British and American boards; something that has played festivals and had a limited run often has no certificate anywhere yet. Everything above is what the critics we read happened to mention. That is not the same answer asked the same way every time, and we will not dress it up as one. When a board classifies it, this fills in.
Magnificent documentary...a compelling, funny, and riveting debut film.
Andrew F. Peirce, The Curb · quoted in Wikipedia, original not read by us · FP000046Rather than presenting a unified account, IX XI reveals the diversity of emotional responses: from fear and confusion to resilience, grief, humor, and unexpected moments of connection. As the stories unfold, the film becomes less about the attacks themselves and more about what remained afterward: the vulnerability of a city, the fragility of everyday life, and the unexpected ways trauma can connect strangers.
Emma Green, Photobook Magazine · quoted in Wikipedia, original not read by us · FP000047Boldly eschews a conventionally staid re-telling of that day's sequence of events in favor of an intermingled aggregation of personal accounts from a wide array of social tiers. From a UPS guy to a plucky journalist to a skateboarder to a real estate agent to a chef to a celebrated actor to a cartoonist and all stripes in between, this cast conveys their respective experiences with warmth, pathos, introspection, poignancy, humility and humor.
Alex Smith, Flaming Pablum · quoted in Wikipedia, original not read by us · FP000048This September will be the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, and for those curious for a different perspective, IX XI is something to look at.
Rick Hong, Film Threat · quoted in Wikipedia, original not read by us · FP000049You can't say that IX XI is the best documentary about 9/11, but it does attempt to capture that day differently, without uncovering anything revelatory about the event. But it doesn't really need to – it's about the human experience of it all.
