The visuals are inventive, and the outlandish stunts are entertaining enough to keep the film watchable, even as it straddles the line between utter bilge and deranged genius.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 13, 2024

Those low budgets and short running times promise a certain kind of pleasure, and Shadow in the Cloud operates in that spirit.

| Jul 28, 2023

The film has its issues with historical inaccuracy, a problematic writer, and a convoluted plot, but Chloë Grace Moretz makes it worth watching (especially if you like WWII plane movies).

| Original Score: C+ | Mar 8, 2023

What makes this film unusually compelling is how Moretz brings such conviction to her performance that we want to see how she comes out of this — even as the world around her poses greater and greater threats to our suspension of disbelief.

| Original Score: B- | Aug 20, 2022

Overall there is a swirl of fun ideas here that simply never come together.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 17, 2022

At times, the script feels lean but, in the end, it delivers a fun film. [Full review in Spanish]

I thought the idea of a monster movie set in the confines of a B-17 bomber during World War II sounded irresistible. Now that I've seen the finished product, I have to say that "Shadow in the Cloud" is entirely resistible.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Jun 14, 2022

Shadow in the Cloud has a lot of potential. Maybe that's why writing a negative review brings me no pleasure.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 17, 2022

I laughed a lot. Don't know if I'd say I loved it, but a campy and stupid fun time, absolutely...

| Dec 21, 2021

Certainly memorable. I don't understand how anyone could not like this movie...

Writer-director Roseanne Liang (Creamiere) has created a clever, low-budget, high-wire genre piece that really works. It's an inventive thrill ride that hopefully yields a blank cheque for whatever she wants to make next.

| Nov 30, 2021

If one just throws all need for logic and rational explanation out the window, it's one hell of a ride.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 30, 2021

Some later action scenes are so audaciously, ridiculously over the top, you just have to go with the insane flow of it all.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 22, 2021

Call me when Liang gets herself a project that isn't weighed down by the baggage of Hollywood's own predatory gremlin.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Aug 23, 2021

A wonderful surprise. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 22, 2021

Liang's efforts to blend historical fact with outrageous fantasy rarely end in level flying, but those willing to embrace some truly death-defying nonsense will be treated to some hugely enjoyable silliness.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 16, 2021

The problem, then, is that all of this build-up has to lead somewhere, and once the narrative has to start revealing its secrets, it too quickly runs out of steam.

| Jun 5, 2021

Ultimately Shadow in the Cloud works as a goofy, relentless and enjoyable romp of a movie.

| May 10, 2021

A fierce, feminist action movie -- a grind house, science fiction, horror, World War II movie hybrid -- and a wild ride. (Blu-ray Review)

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 23, 2021

A well-crafted, welcomingly tight and undeniably fun action-horror hybrid...a lot of girl power and some ridiculously fun action sequences
