Cloud 9 Ratings & Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
Dresen films much of the movie in close-up and medium shots, making sure we see every wrinkle and age spot, every expression, every emotion.
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
"Cloud 9" offers the welcome spectacle of two oldsters discovering romantic bliss, even though that bliss ultimately comes at the expense of others.
NPR
Ella Taylor
Cloud 9 is most moving when it steps quietly into the gap between physical decline and the persistence, at full blast, of unfulfilled longing and desire.
Boston Globe
Tom Russo
Sometimes, apparently, the old saw about the heart wanting what it wants can apply to seniors precisely the same way it does to the young and foolish.
The Hollywood Reporter
Ray Bennett
The film may attract older moviegoers curious to see their generation represented onscreen doing what comes naturally for once. It's doubtful that the general audience will be so inclined.

Dan Lybarger
This German entry benefits from a matter-of-fact approach.
Kansas City Star
Loey Lockerby
This moral ambivalence is both the movie's strength and its greatest weakness. In virtually every way, Inge's behavior is unconscionable.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
The heart is a riddle, and Cloud 9 deftly, wittily counts the ways.
Detroit News
Tom Long
The result is a film in which age matters not at all and yet still matters hugely, and in which love is still a dream come true and an absolute mess.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Dresen shows the events with a matter-of-fact clarity and patience, with a lack of editing or obnoxious musical score; the tone is startlingly quiet.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
This German melodrama has its share of problems (uncertain tone, unsatisfying closure), but in its many good moments, it offers a honest portrait of sex among the elderly, which is an almost taboo subject in American movies.
Boxoffice Magazine
Wade Major
An otherwise routine look at a love triangle is passed with middling success through geriatric and Teutonic filters in this largely improvised drama from veteran German director Andreas Dresen.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Manages to be vital, wrenching and even humorous yet does not deny the omnipresence of mortality.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Mr. Dresen and his actors create an atmosphere of reckless vulnerability that's immediately compelling and artistically intriguing. We want to explore this relationship further.
NewsBlaze
Kam Williams
Literally and figuratively blows the sheets off the taboo subject of geriatric sexuality.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Brave, provocative and deeply poignant with a raw and heartfelt performance by Ursula Werner. It's easily one of the most powerfully emotional films of the year.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Seldom has any movie shown so much geriatric sex and full-frontal nudity (male and female). But, thanks to Dresen, it is all done with taste and sensitivity.
AV Club
Noel Murray
Apart from the ages of the protagonists, Cloud 9 is a standard-issue infidelity story, complete with dialogue like 'I didn't want this, it just happened!'
Village Voice
Nicolas Rapold
The film comes to feel curiously incomplete, like one long fretful afternoon.
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
Sexual awakening isn't just for the young anymore.
