Reviews for Days and Clouds
... or all the emotional integrity and observational exactness, it's more social study than character drama.

Days and Clouds serves as a primer in coping with depression, financial and/or personal. But it is stirring, serious and, ultimately, mercifully optimistic cinema.

Top Critic Elsa and Michele's story is such a deft study of what can make a relationship go to pieces that it's a satisfying watch in spite of all the bitterness.
10/16/08
The movie's success in Italy is partly a matter of frustration: Women need their men to grow up.
10/10/08
Top Critic a thought-provoking and powerful story that will appeal to mature audiences and those who appreciate fine filmmaking...that is worth laying out 12 bucks to see it at the theater.

Soldini gets at all the nuances of a marriage of many years in crisis, and, without a typical 'happy' ending where all worries are neatly resolved, wraps with hopeful poetry...

An intelligent adult drama that's especially relevant in these harsh economic times.
09/26/08
Top Critic Little is surprising about either characters’ behavior, but there isn’t a single anguished expression that plays forced or false.

What seemed at first a provocative study of a family tragedy becomes a two-hour immersion into minutiea until you start thinking that the exits are where the action is.
09/13/08
This is a portrait of nerve-racking economic times, and it cuts close to the bone in detailing how a marriage suffers when its financial underpinnings are suddenly knocked away.

Top Critic
One way to look at this movie is as an elegantly acted, art-house woman's picture.
07/11/08
A brave film simply for daring to portray a nightmare lurking in the minds of middle-aged workers, people who might fear a film that addresses their insecurities this bluntly.
07/11/08
Top Critic Money makes the world go round in Days and Clouds, a darling relationship drama that probes our collective fears about financial instability with an almost profoundly empathetic detachment.
07/11/08
While the context, in the U.S. as well as its native country, lends Days And Clouds added resonance, Soldini's main interest is in the politics of marriage.
07/10/08
A flawlessly directed drama about an Italian couple's life together in love that is besieged by unemployment and the drastic downsizing of their lives.
