Though the movie never feels overstuffed, too much of the drama feels canned.

Yao's soulful and stirring performance as a complex woman struggling to understand herself - and life itself - anchors "Send Me to the Clouds," allowing it to truly soar.

Yao Chen is splendid, thoroughly embracing her difficult, at times off-putting character.

影片故作姿态地截取了生活的几个片段、构设了生活的几种困境，试图以一种抽离而诗意的方式带人观览人生百态，却最终只能以一种故弄玄虚的姿态居高临下指指点点。对爱欲的渴求、对拜金的鄙视、对原生家庭的愤懑……矫揉造作而生的“丧”充其量是流光溢彩的一串泡泡，一戳即破。

A decidedly female vehicle. A single, not-getting-young Chinese woman with an independent streak finds out she has cancer. With some lush cinematography, the film explores what it means to be unmarried in China and death while weaving in gender politics and money politics.
