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.

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. Oct 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. Nov 5, 2004 | Rating: 1/5

The passion barely simmers, let alone rages, which may vex some viewers and will certainly confound the tabloids. Oct 22, 2004 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

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 22, 2004 | Full Review…

Tyrone Power would have more chemistry courting Deanna Durbin in a deep coma. Theron destroys all her Monster acting cred. Cruz squeaks like a hamster huffing helium. Mar 9, 2005 | Rating: .5/10 | Full Review…

If John Duigan set out to make the most preposterous, over-the-top and sweeping epic he could cobble together, then he succeeded with a vengeance. Feb 23, 2005 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Miscast leads and ersatz emotions leave the film's soundstagey period ambiance as its most comparable asset. A handsome misfire. Dec 18, 2004 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

The film is emotionally distanced from its audience, too stoic and stuffy. You'd never guess a film with as much sex as this one could be so stodgy, but there you go. Dec 11, 2004 | Rating: C | Full Review…
