"This film is based on Capote's bittersweet memoir of him as a boy spending his time with two maiden aunts, Laurie and Spacek. The fine cast is headed by Laurie as the more pixilated of the two ladies. There are some rough edges, but it's worth a look," reports The Films of the Nineties.

"[Director Tom] Hooper and his production team decided the cast members should sing the songs live, as opposed to adding them later in a state-of-the-art recording studio. That decision certainly adds urgency to the visuals, but it very much works against [Russell] Crowe, who pales in comparison to the multi-talented [High] Jackman and seems more frustrated than evil in his screen time as the blindly brutal enforcer Javert.
"Hooper also starts the $61 million film with a digitally created dock scene with shockingly fake backgrounds.

"Cloud Atlas is all over the place, intentionally. It follows six completely different stories, in genres from science fiction to crime thriller to romance. As with the novel, there are six movies within the movie, set in the past and the future.
"Morgan Freeman played Alex Cross in the first two adaptations of this series, Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider, but he declined a third. Instead, the role goes to Tyler Perry, a younger actor who is enormously successful within the US and largely unknown beyond its borders... Tyler Perry disappoints in the title role...
This adaptation betrays both Patterson's original novel and the spirit of the two earlier films. The original plot has been put through a Hollywood meat grinder." [BrisbaneTimes]

My Dog Skip added to See the Movie Read the Book Directory under Kids and Family."As a plausible solution to realizing the nested narratives of David Mitchell’s 2004 nightstand-warmer, this two-and-half-hour feature adaptation is not the worst imaginable. 
"Cloud Atlas The Major Motion Picture shuffles among the meager storylines/settings — a colonial slavery saga, a futuristic corporate dystopia, a '70s paranoid gumshoe story, a drawing-room romance of musical rivalry, some caper involving a railroaded editor, and, coming full circle, a post-apocalyptic return to prehistoric tribalism — with an impressive hit rate for visual matches, editorial cross-referencing, and occasional humor. If it’s not the book, it’s a little like keeping six mediocre books going at once — or finger-bookmarking multiple pages in a Choose Your Own Adventure."
