Critics' reviews

"With a brilliant cast led by Fin Argus and Sabrina Carpenter, 'Clouds' lifts you up and makes you cry as you observe a mature, moving portrait of life and death."

Tanzim Pardiwalla: Mashable
"After 75 minutes of above the godawful expectations of its genre, Baldoni’s film turns plastic and anodyne"

David Ehrlich: IndieWire
"Justin Baldoni's biopic of the late teen singer-songwriter flirts with the generic, but has a heart and soul in pretty much the right place."

Guy Lodge: Variety
"'Clouds' is nice and well-meaning, but also very much like its title, wispy and transparent and easy to look past."

Josh Spiegel: SlashFilm
"'Clouds' isn’t exceptional, but it’s honest and earnest enough to be effective"

John Serba: Decider
"Big on hugs and scant on plot, the gentle, hazy script (by Kara Holden) is jolted by dramatic moments"

Amy Nicholson: The New York Times
"This movie is a reminder that we should not have to wait to fly above the clouds to keep our lives wild and precious (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
