critics consensus
Head in the Clouds aspires to soapy melodrama, but gets lost in its own lather, never mining romance from its central love affair or achieving authenticity in its period setting. Read critic reviews

This soapy saga is for adults only.
December 24, 2010 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… -
There's a whole lot of romantic and historical huffing and puffing in writer-director John Duigan's rickety epic, most all of it recycled from other films.
October 18, 2008 | Full Review… -
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.
November 5, 2004 | Rating: 1/5 -
The passion barely simmers, let alone rages, which may vex some viewers and will certainly confound the tabloids.

Great, gooey, hot-fudge sundae of a love story.
October 22, 2004 | Rating: 3/4 -
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.

Oct 08, 2013Head in the Clouds is OK. What are you going to do when you meet your soulmate? Even the ending is believable, although I've seen the same ending in a few WW 2 movies.Red L Super Reviewer
