What to Know

Critics Consensus

Writer-director Kiyoshi Kurosawa returns to the theme of technology being a haunting force with disturbing success in Cloud, a slow-burn examination of social media that ends with a bang.

Kambole Campbell Empire Magazine Kurosawa’s latest film is a chilly and mystifying expression of a modern malevolence which hangs over our lives — like a cloud, if you will — worsened by constant digital connection. Rated: 4/5 Apr 29, 2025 Full Review Josh Slater-Williams Little White Lies Playing like a slicker, more vicious riff on Ben Wheatley’s Mexican stand-off film, Free Fire, the climactic gunplay chaos is all the more chilling for the impotence ultimately behind so much of the rage being vented. Rated: 4/5 Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian The final half-hour seems to be a neo-western style melee which seems to go on for ever. Odd … and unrewarding. Rated: 2/5 Apr 21, 2025 Full Review Barry Levitt The Daily Beast Cloud is brilliant until it’s frustrating. It’s an evocatively shot exploration of how the digital world impacts us on a personal and a wider societal level. But it’s a tale of two seemingly different films. Jun 5, 2025 Full Review Lindsay Costello The Stranger (Seattle, WA) The slow, calculated action-thriller communicates in soft steps and hushed tones. May 28, 2025 Full Review Joanne Laurier World Socialist Web Site Everyone in Cloud is either a fraudster, a cynic, an opportunist or a psychopath. Not a single one of them deserves the viewer’s concern or attention. How accurate is that as a view of life in Japan, or anywhere else? May 10, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A big fan of Kurosawa's films, but this was a slow burn thriller that never really adds up to much of anything. And the characters behave in ways that ultimately make no sense. The film has its moments but ultimately was a disappointing endeavor. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review Read all reviews
