Above the Clouds

I had no idea what this film was about when I started it, and had never heard of any of the lead actors. However the simple and sometimes silly story sucks you in with such simplicity and natural beauty that I remained transfixed while it played out. Morris wears the film like a trusted old suit and carries it effortlessly throughout, despite her lack of experience. It was a much needed surprise boost of simplicity and naivety and beauty that it cheered me up no end. I will probably never watch it again, it's not that type of film, but I wish I could watch it for the first time many times more. No sex, no violence and no intrigue: just a simple story about teenage curiosity leading to a family secret and then a clear identity. This is the first time in a very, very long time I've given an 8 in a review, but it was well worth it.

A very soft and heartwarming story featuring a 18 old girl and a very particular responsabile driver from the beaches of the south of England to the north of the Scotland Highlands.

The movie is very easy to watch and the chemistry between the two characters is almost perfect as are strange and hilarious the situation in which the fall into during the trip.

If you are looking for a clean and original British commedy I definitely suggest you to have a look.

Furthermore, if like me you have been in the north of Scotland you will fell like being back there with some stunning landscapes.

One of the best commedies I've seen recently and a 7.5/10.

Saw the premiere of this film at Raindance Film Festival. Wonderful. Here's what I wrote then about it on Raindance Festival Day 5: Went raving mad about this sparkly, distinctly British "American road trip" movie. Fell in love with ingénue actress Naomi Morris. Gushed about this cinema treat being destined for wide release on the film's FB page. I promise: I had not been drinking. This movie is an elixir. Prepare to become intoxicated.

A really pleasant surprise of a movie. As a gentle comedy it is a warm, pleasing journey, with some laugh-out-loud moments. What makes the film for me though, is the perfect chemistry between the leads and the brilliant set scenes with a cast of kooky support players - the garage scene is superb. There is also an excellent performance from Philip Jackson (Poirot). If you are going to stick your neck out for a film that isn't in the public eye then do give this one a try!

This film has it all! Solid & enjoyable cast, enjoyable scenery and not totally predictable! No blood and guts, no murders, no law enforcement drama but instead an engrossing road movie with interesting characters.

It does have moments of ridiculous but that's ok, no movie is absolute perfection,,, except for Gone with the Wind and Forrest Gump ;) IMDB Why is there a 5 star rating? The reviews you have posted are 8's and better!
