Their conversation and what ensues is cute, endearing, believable. Stella has decided to play a rather racy movie. One of my absolute favorite scenes is towards the beginning of the movie. Between Dukakis’ perfect quick, dry sarcasm and colorful language and Fricker’s absolutely impeccable timing, you are thoroughly engrossed throughout the entire film. Their dynamic is nothing short of pristine. You’re not watching two actresses you are watching an older, but still dedicated and very much in love couple. The dialogue between Stella and Dot is uncanny. They reach further than your heart, they touch your soul. Cloudburst, for me, is akin to such life-changing movies as Life is Beautiful and Seven Pounds. An emotional, character-driven story line, Cloudburst is that rare gem that stands out from all other films. We live in an age of exploding cars, gratuitous sex and subpar remakes in our movies.
It is beautifully written, being both powerful and poignant.
#CAST OF CLOUDBURST MOVIE#
The realism of the movie and its relatable nature grab you from the very first scene.
I could also relate with Dotty’s granddaughter, Molly, played by Kristin Booth, as my wife and I are both dealing with aging family members. I could see my future with my wife in Stella (Olympia Dukakis) and Dotty (Brenda Fricker). Seeing a story about an aging lesbian couple hit home. Cloudbursts are short in duration, but incredibly powerful.
In a cloudburst, you would encounter heavy rain, thunder and possibly even hail. It’s the kind of movie that really touches your heart and stays with you for years to come.Ī cloudburst is a sudden and significant storm. Cloudburst is a poignant story about love, family and life.
