Leave your thoughts about Cloudburst.
| Toronto StarLinda BarnardAn affectionate twist on a classic tale of lovers on the lam, sprinkled with renegade hints of Thelma & Louise, Cloudburst is a life- and heart-affirming journey. |
| Movie MetropolisJames PlathFeatures one of the funniest, bawdiest, most memorable scenes I've ever witnessed in a film. Despite the formulaic elements, it still feels like an original. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussThe feisty actresses clearly relish their vivid roles. |
| Globe and MailRick GroenIt's a delight to see Olympia Dukakis and Brenda Fricker, superb talents and Oscar winners both, share almost every frame of Cloudburst. |
| The DissolveTasha RobinsonIn its peaceful moments, it's a gem, but the wild stabs at wacky comedy are usually groaners, a shame in a story that's so smart and savvy when it isn't showing off, being dense, or winding down to a painfully pat ending. |
| Windy City TimesRichard KnightThe two actors...bring out the best in these two women in spite of the plot lapses and odd tonal shifts...you believe wholeheartedly that these two are deeply in love, and Dukakis and Fricker gift their characters with a real bond of intimacy. |
| User ReviewJanet FJust outstanding! Dukakis out did herself. |
| User ReviewAnthony CThis was a really good movie. Simple, meaningful, and funny. |
| User ReviewBritany MCompasionate, hysterical and a movie I will add to my library to watch again and again! |
| User ReviewAlan UThis is one of the most wonderful movies I've seen in years. It is hilarious from start to finish while telling a beautiful and compelling love story. Dukakis and Fricker are simply marvelous. You really owe it to yourself to see this film. |
