Cloud Ratings & Reviews
- James Saenz3 dgn geledenbleak exploration of how miserable people abuse other miserable people and how the veil of anonymity through the internet emboldens that behavior. i honestly preferred the first half of the film for how it builds up this creeping sense of malaise, as it’s more reminiscent of kurosawa’s previous works like pulse and cure.
- andy b1 november 2025bro i have no idea really what kurosawa was really trying to do with this. didn't feel anything like his other work. still can't say it was bad, just feel like his talents weren't really channeled here. still well worth watching... everybody need a friend like sano though
- hairydemon5 januari 2026A very well made load of crap. What starts as a preposterous but "maybe" believeable scenario slowly devolves into the ridiculous pretty fast. By the end (and I won't spoil it for you if you want to be suckered by other reviews) i despised the director and the stupid choices he had made. I was even more worried about the reviewers showering this inane drivel with praise. Just because it is shot nicely does not mean that it is good.
- Timeless Cinema30 oktober 2025Through the actions of each character, Cloud builds from a quiet thriller into an entertaining action climax. As all players commit to their decisions & face their final consequences.
- badhandbanana23 oktober 2025Horrifying, funny, and surreal. A must watch, especially for fans of Kiyoshi Kurosawa. Saying too much would be spoiling it, so I recommend just going in with an open mind.
- Kevin Ward30 juni 2025Cloud from Kiyoshi Kurosawa is a slow-burn thriller about greed, self-interest, and the consequences of living without conscience. Masaki Suda plays Ryousuke Yoshii, a coldly transactional reseller who flips whatever he can—medical appliances, "designer" bags, collectible toys—using cutthroat tactics to source goods without concern for who gets hurt. As for the quality, legitimacy, or provenance of the items, he pleads ignorance—so long as he’s cashed out before the fallout. When Yoshii turns down a promotion at his factory job to pursue his side hustle full-time, it’s the first step in a quiet unraveling. Cloud plays like a morality tale—a cynical critique of capitalism where, in the end, capitalism eats the capitalist. Yoshii and his girlfriend Akiko (Kotone Furukawa) move to the countryside, a shift that props up their surface-level goals and shared materialism—a fresh start built on the same hollow foundation. But as Yoshii’s reseller persona, Ratel, starts attracting backlash, a karmic wave builds. It’s solidly entertaining, even if some of the messaging is a bit overt—especially in the broadly drawn character of Akiko, whose arc could’ve used more nuance.
- russrev1ews22 oktober 2025I think something must’ve been lost in translation because this movie didn’t make a ton of sense at the end. It’s almost like David Lynch got to edit the last 2 minutes.
