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. Go to Full Review
Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times 10/19/2020
"Clouds" has all the makings of a profound and powerful heart-tugger. So why isn't it more wholly moving and cathartic? Go to Full Review

Addie D. @addie321 Oct 24 I loved this movie it made me laugh and cry and it helped me get over the loss of my grandma See more Adrian R Jul 15 BEAUTIFUL MOVIE I really recommend this film, because besides being a work of art, it is very inspiring and also has very good musical references. You all must see it See more THE NASHVILLE I @Nshvlleindie Jun 10 The romance with terminal illness is unhealthy, and uninspiring. Baldoni's suspiciously done this same routine with 5 Feet Apart and his documentary. The script's a bit cheesy, to be honest, and desperate to reap this uplifting inspiration from ongoing death...but it doesn't hit, and the directing at the same time feels pretentious. Moreover the handling of the 2 girlfriend's is agonizingly ambiguous, but it's honestly more carelessness in the writing more than any intended cleverness. Not a good watch...problematic, more than anything. See more Lucero K @lucero0922 Jan 10 What a beautiful film!!! See more David D 08/27/2024 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. See more Albert W 06/19/2024 Gonna have to do it... give this one my rare and coveted 5 star rating. Very unusual... but yeah, I think this one deserves it. See more Read all reviews
