ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

dallas_nyberg It's always tricky to make a movie that might blindly be perceived as a black vs white melodrama when here it's not really the case. For me this movie is a simple told story of lost souls. Two young people, one in search of an almost fanciful re-connection with her wayward father and the other, desperate to see his mother before she dies. The two young lead actors do a fine job of portraying their characters. Although the dialogue is a bit twee at times, it still manages to get the message across to the viewer. The cinematography is great, utilizing the sometimes stark, but beautiful Western Plains district of New South Wales to full advantage. I did think that the scenes involving the pair's interactions with the police were, at times, a bit over the top. Other than that, this is a good movie. It is sad to note, that Damian Pitt, who played Vaughn, was killed in a car accident near Grafton NSW in 2009

bk_heather Enough to say that I did not go looking for this movie.....it found me and transfixed me while I was channel surfing....and watch it I did - enthralled by the atmospheric capture.Recently I was traveling in outback rural Australia and so many memories stirred of places that I knew in childhood ..... One pub or store little towns with clapboard houses and the poorest of the poor both socially and economically and the dreams one dared not dream as a young person...This movie was excellent in so many ways.....following Lena home I was almost shocked to enter her life at home....I knew families that lived like that, watching the teenagers hanging out together....the memories surfaced. I did not ask anything from the plot....there is no point asking when you find circumstances like this to negotiate but there was enough reality for me that I came looking today to read more about the movie, the actors and the producers etc - job well done ...the discomfort of rural youth well captured along with he rural magic

jay-sears Why all the great reviews baffles me. The acting is awful but i agree the story line is OK.This film would have so much more justice if the actors had shown more emotion and non robotic movements. It was like watching slow robots. The story line is reasonable and would have worked better if there was more action in the film - i'm not saying fights but more emphasis to have some exciting scenes in the middle. The film drags on a bit so expect a slow, slow, slow movie. The scenery is great but that does not put you off from wondering how any of these actors got a job. If only the acting was great I would love this film but it is terrible. If anyone has watched good actors they would realise that they were terrible, non emotional robots. Another promising OZ film, another flop in acting! Don't waste your time cringing on the acting by watching this movie. Watch something else instead.Worst acting i have ever seen.

peter_kotroczo There are very few movies that I will want to watch more than once, but Beneath Clouds is definitely one of them. The majority of movies I have seen over the past years were very much focused on plot development and I think most viewers will expect a movie to be heavy on the storyline. What I expect from a movie is something totally different, though. None of my favourite movies have a a memorable or particularly well developed storyline. However, they all have something in common. All of them have a very powerful and gripping atmosphere, and it is this atmosphere that comes to my mind whenever I think back of these movies. Not a particular scene, a particular quote or a masterly twist in the storyline, not the visual effects or the sophisticated sound. This movie would be just as enjoyable watching it from a low quality videotape on a black and white telly with low sound quality. Beneath Clouds instantly became a favourite with me, from the very first moments I started watching it. I love this movie, simply because it gives you an experience, a combination of vision, sound, thought and emotion that cannot be described with words and that is exactly what I expect from a movie. If you think what I am saying here is b.ll.cks and doesn't make sense - well, it's up to you. But if you know what I am blathering about you will understand and LOVE this movie. Wochit.
