Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
What can be said about Drifting Clouds can be said about hangdog Finnish humor in general: it's making the best of a depressing situation.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,
13 Nov 2001
fresh:
Kaurismaki has enormous love for these characters. He embraces their comic pathos, and rejoices that they do not surrender.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
13 Nov 2001
fresh:
True to his temperament, Kaurismaki has made another funny-sad movie about the tenuousness of life, in all its ambiguity and nonsensical symmetry.
– Ann Hornaday,
Washington Post,
23 May 2003
fresh:
In addition to achieving a paradoxical balance of mirth and melancholy, Drifting Clouds is a dark, mostly interior movie with a color scheme as big as all outdoors.
