Critic Reviews

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
It's a delight to see Olympia Dukakis and Brenda Fricker, superb talents and Oscar winners both, share almost every frame of Cloudburst.
-
Linda Barnard, Toronto Star
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.
-
John Beifuss, Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
The feisty actresses clearly relish their vivid roles.
