Reception

While the New York Times reviewer was dismissive of the film [1] Film Threat said:

Though Clouds is not a perfect film, the actors make most of the more stilted dialog work, and even the slowest paced moments feature nicely composed visuals from DP Gary Lindsay. By the time we come to the final message “go and love some more” (effectively appropriated from Harold and Maude ) it’s apparent that the film is just a good, solid effort with an intriguing plot, and an impressive directorial debut for Thompson. [2]

Despite these mixed reviews, Clouds was awarded the "Feature Film Award" at the 1999 New York International Independent Film and Video Festival [3] and the "Premio Nuovo" at the 1999 Brooklyn International Film Festival. [4] The film was re-released for its 25th anniversary, and received recognition and awards from numerous film festivals. [5]
