Critics Consensus

Although its emotional swings occasionally miss, Clouds soars higher than most young adult films -- and proves director Justin Baldoni's mastery behind the camera.

Amy Nicholson

New York Times

Big on hugs and scant on plot, the gentle, hazy script is jolted by dramatic moments that are quickly ushered away unresolved as if to shrug, that's life.

Rated: C+

"Clouds" has all the makings of a profound and powerful heart-tugger. So why isn't it more wholly moving and cathartic?

This movie gave me a fresh perspective on life: we aren’t guaranteed a tomorrow, so we should strive to achieve our dreams now because time isn’t endless. We often live as if we’re invincible, assuming we have all the time in the world, but the reality is different. We shouldn’t wait for the threat of death to start truly living. This film made me realize that. The story itself is bittersweet. While we see the protagonist achieve his dreams in the little time he has left, he doesn’t get to enjoy them for long. The cinematography was solid, with some impressive transitions, and the performances by the cast were captivating, showcasing a range of deep emotions. The music, which is central to the movie, was well-chosen and executed. The catchy tunes will make you want to explore the album and songs that inspired the film. Overall, it’s a fantastic movie.

Amazing true life story about a teenage boy Zach Sobiech and the battle he has with bone cancer and how he touches millions with his music as he legacy carries on even to this day. Touching and heart wrenching, but still wonderful to watch with a cast of some familiar names that bring this to life, great job everyone and Disney
