What to Know

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.

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 Oct 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 Perri Nemiroff Perri Nemiroff (YouTube) Oct 16, 2020

Robert P @Superbad Sep 23, 2026 Clouds = a 4.5 star Movie! See more Elisha I @asapidox Aug 31, 2026 This was such a beautiful movie. It was emotional, inspiring, and had me feeling all kinds of emotions. The story really stayed with me, and I loved the message behind it. See more Addie D. @addie321 Oct 24, 2025 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 @RT83195163 Jul 15, 2025 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, 2025 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, 2025 What a beautiful film!!! See more Read all reviews
