Tasha Robinson The Dissolve Jul 26, 2013
3/5
In its peaceful moments, it's a gem, but the wild stabs at wacky comedy are usually groaners, a shame in a story that's so smart and savvy when it isn't showing off, being dense, or winding down to a painfully pat ending. Go to Full Review
Rick Groen Globe and Mail Mar 8, 2013
2.5/4
It's a delight to see Olympia Dukakis and Brenda Fricker, superb talents and Oscar winners both, share almost every frame of Cloudburst. Go to Full Review

3/4
An affectionate twist on a classic tale of lovers on the lam, sprinkled with renegade hints of Thelma & Louise, Cloudburst is a life- and heart-affirming journey. Go to Full Review

3.5/4.0
Olympia Dukakis is utterly brilliant here, a magic mixture of brash and rude and tenderness and determination. Go to Full Review
Alexander Ryll Gay Essential Sep 15, 2019
Dukakis and Fricker are as wonderful in the film as you would expect two veteran and experienced actresses to be. You believe that these two women were a lesbian couple in a committed relationship. Go to Full Review
Richard Knight Windy City Times Jun 27, 2014
The two actors...bring out the best in these two women in spite of the plot lapses and odd tonal shifts...you believe wholeheartedly that these two are deeply in love, and Dukakis and Fricker gift their characters with a real bond of intimacy. Go to Full Review
