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.

C+

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.

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

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.

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.
