Mine 9

This movie was quite short and was beautifully made.

I thought I knew what coal mining was about. But the truth is I had no clue at all. This movie is especially interesting for its realism and the attention to details. I discovered some harsh working conditions, not happening in the 18th century but in modern times and that makes it even more frightening. The machinery is more interesting than in sci-fi movies, and the tension is higher than in alleged horror movies. There are imperfect things, but as a whole, Mine 9 is very impressive.

This 35-year miner liked it. The build-up scenes were spot-on. The 'big' event and it's aftermath was kinda hard to believe, but possible. This movie can show the public how hard miners work and that talk of cutting their pensions is unconscionable. Thanks to the makers. You done good 👌🏻

Mining - you have to have done it to really appreciate what the guys (and gals I reckon) are doing down there. During the end credits we do get to see some light (interviews with real miners) shed upon that subject matter.

Not an easy life ... even tougher when things go south ... is that pun? Can one say it about mining? Well whatever the case you better not be claustrophobic ... yes this is a movie, but it won't be an easy watch .. in the slightest. Drama and hardship .... and thrill that will or is able to get you to the edge of your seat.

If that's coal mining , I will appreciate every piece of coal I see. Great film, well acted, claustrophobic. Nice to see these unpretentious films coming out - real, raw and believable. Won't do much for coal mining employment though......
