Cloud Atlas
Cloud Atlas explores how the actions and consequences of individual lives impact one another throughout the past, the present and the future. Action, mystery and romance weave dramatically through the story as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero and a single act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution in the distant future. Each member of the ensemble appears in multiple roles as the stories move through time.

We normally can't see dead people, but that doesn't mean they're not like threads disappearing below a tapestry's surface and resurfacing elsewhere. A clarification of sorts.May 03, 2015
Even at its most risible, this oddball picture has a groovy, inclusive spirit that feels downright revolutionary in our sterile, blockbuster age.October 26, 2012
An eminently peculiar mismatch of substance and form, like a Hallmark card written by David Foster Wallace.May 10, 2016

The result is maddening, exasperating, occasionally exhilarating -- and mostly boring.October 26, 2012

They key to successfully absorbing the movie may be in not trying to overthink what's on screen.February 20, 2013
A film which piles on the action, the romance, the philosophical inquiry and the silly accents until the viewer is left punch-drunk and reeling. Seriously, what's not to love?
