This movie is a reminder that we should not have to wait to fly above the clouds to keep our lives wild and precious.

Clouds keeps its focus squarely on the ground from start to finish, and it soars that much higher for it.

Excellent movie I’ve ever watched. Heartbreaking and resonated with me so much at a low time of my life. Any negative critics are just bitter, envious lonely little people, who obviously don’t have any love in their hearts. Zach and his family Inspired me by their story. Changed my whole approach to my life and people around me. It reminds me we need to value, appreciate what limited time we have left. We always just assume we have plenty of time. Innocent good people’s lives are taken by accident and terminal illnesses daily. Zach remains me how important it is to appreciate each other, love the people closest to us whenever we can. Don’t wait to affirm those closest to you, while they’re still around. Zach thought he had a great life ahead of him. Taken way to soon. Tragically. How to “be with” someone who is terminal with cancer. Not run away or abandon them. Gave me The language/words to use to be helpful. Reminds me to live my life more in the moment. Focus on the day only. “Seize the opportunity” to being a Bridge builder, instead of building Walls. Be an instrument of peace and kindness. We can Choice to make a significant differences in people’s lives: see the person, their human side (soul) to see and treat the person, Not the illness. Embrace their differences. What do you have in common. Choose to bring Joy into their lives. Even in this messed up crazy world. Wars famine and tyrant corruption. We can Choice to bring Joy, Relief and understanding/ compassion, and not hatred, harm abuse and violence. To see people closest and people who are struggling nearby, your friends or neighbours. Affirming a person, even in their diversity, gender differences, culture and lifestyle differences. I truly Believe, If you don’t have something nice to say, then yes, you must know, you’re the person who has the problem, not the Clouds movie. Zach or anyone living with cancer. Brilliant honest heartfelt and genuinely life approach changing. Best heartfelt tearful movie I’ve seen in years. Applaud: standing notations.

Partiamo dal presupposto che non avrei dato manco una lira a questo film, ma dopo aver letto la trama mi ha troppo incuriosito e così l'ho guardato e posso dire che me ne sono innammorato, film veramente emozionante, storia travolgente e molto triste, personalmente penso sia uno dei pochi film che mi ha fatto piangere veramente troppo, lo amo

Anyone who has ever watched a movie about young love and the C-word (no, not Clouds) will know exactly where the film is headed, as well as the obligatory narrative beats that stretch out the inevitable. But for a sob story, Clouds is not nearly as watery as it could have been.

At a distended two hours, the film becomes a bit of a slog as it deliberately tracks Sobiech’s senior year of high school as he bravely marches — with equal parts humor and sorrow — toward his demise.

While Clouds is as doe-eyed and puppyish as an acoustic serenade, Baldoni is wise to recognize that attention must be paid to Zach’s survivors.

While Clouds absolutely has its heart in the right place, that heart doesn’t translate into a similarly winning story.

The tears in Clouds are built in. But all this manipulation feels excessive, unnecessary padding for a story that needed a vigorous trimming to break your heart and uplift you as it does.

I read all the review and yea they are right about that all the sad screen are building up and you can kind of predict them....
Normally I’m a real hard critic when it comes to movies, I normally don’t share my opinion because I know I’m a really hard critic.
But I can’t hold it back, despite the predictable sad scenes all the timing we’re so right in how are the clip the scenes. They were so powerful emotional that’s no matter how much i fight that comes some tears.
Movies where the story is based on real life, they hit so hard this time they done it again

This movie was fantastic. It taught me to think about life differently, and made me realize how precious life is. Zach taught me that you don't have to be dying to start living.

There's plenty of good intentions in this film, and it actually means well, but the emotional manipulation is unequivocally a burden it can't get rid of, because its story wouldn't work otherwise. And there's nothing I hate more than emotional manipulation, especially when dealing with a disease, and specifically with a disease as delicate as cancer. And for me it seems far-fetched, that a film that is supposed to be uplifting and inspirational, is more interested in dragging you through the dramatic overload with the obvious intention of provoking tears. So I must say that I wasn't happy with it.

Who are you people?! This is the most overly sensitive, melodramatic crap I've ever seen. Might as well just go into a dark room and listen to Wildfire and Shannon on repeat. Bleck!
