Head In The Clouds movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: Soft-focus, softheaded mush. Read more
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: You might not think it would be easy to make a dull film about love, war and a bisexual threesome, but Head in the Clouds manages this task efficiently despite a couple of decent performances from Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: Townsend seemed to me ill-matched as a romantic hero: way too moony-eyed and mushy to cope with the likes of the towering Theron and torchy Cruz. Read more
John Hartl, Seattle Times: It sometimes appears to have been designed deliberately as an encyclopedia of cliches. Read more
Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle: Fans of luxe art direction and Merchant-Ivory productions will enjoy this picture. But where's the challenge? Even the steamy material seems well- mannered, and what good is that? Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: ... a little too uneven. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Unfortunately, the movie's unwieldy, episodic structure undercuts Theron's impressive performance. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: A relentlessly overripe melodrama that takes place in movie-Europe as opposed to the real thing. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: For much of its two-hour running time Head in the Clouds lacks freshness and vitality. Read more
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: An ambitious, if uneven, tale of passionate lovers from 1933 to 1945. Read more
Michael Booth, Denver Post: Duigan gets the costumes right and the emotion wrong. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Wooden and endless; it's like Cabaret without the cabaret. Read more
Charles Ealy, Dallas Morning News: Head in the Clouds may be beautiful, but it has little soul. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: It's the kind of undemanding weepie, at once calculating and guileless, that could make your Saturday night. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: A World War II-era film that has no plot, and no discernible point, until the Nazis march in, sometime during Act 73. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: A stodgy snooze, and Theron, who is about as expressive here as a porcelain doll, lacks all believability. Read more
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: For all the hot sex and fevered politics, the movie is remarkably blah, a generic rush of attractive actors in compromising positions. Read more
Jami Bernard, New York Daily News: An implausible story that enfolds kinky sex with nationalistic fervor. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: In the wake of Saving Private Ryan, The Pianist and the mini-series Band of Brothers, this pulpy, sex-drenched wartime epic seems frivolous, quaint and foolishly prurient. Read more
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel: The story becomes a long slog because Duigan doesn't define his characters and because he's determined to touch too many of the familiar '30s European bases. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: It wants to be a hard-panting melodrama, with spies and sex and love and death, and there are times when a movie like this is exactly what you feel like indulging. Read more
Charles Taylor, Salon.com: Makes you wish that Duigan had either worked to make the film believable as serious drama or gone unabashedly for tear-jerking. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: The love story rates a B, while the drama is a C at best. Granted, the adventure part perks up to an A-minus, but you have to wade through two-thirds of the movie to get there. Read more
Leah McLaren, Globe and Mail: Great, gooey, hot-fudge sundae of a love story. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: The passion barely simmers, let alone rages, which may vex some viewers and will certainly confound the tabloids. Read more
Dennis Harvey, Variety: A lively, plush but unconvincing potboiler cobbled from familiar pieces of better films. Read more
Ed Park, Village Voice: I remember best [Gilda's] mutable hair, which went from a bob to a wave to a longish Angelina Jolie coif. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: A snooze, despite all the sex and other gunplay. Read more
Teresa Wiltz, Washington Post: There's plenty of eye candy -- gorgeous scenery, gorgeous costumes, gorgeous people -- to keep the viewer from minding (too much) the Olympic leaps of faith required to invest in the film's plot. Read more
