Days and Clouds serves as a primer in coping with depression, financial and/or personal. But it is stirring, serious and, ultimately, mercifully optimistic cinema.
John Anderson, Washington Post

The movie's success in Italy is partly a matter of frustration: Women need their men to grow up.
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
Fresh
An intelligent adult drama that's especially relevant in these harsh economic times.
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
It plays out more like a 12-step program than a human drama.
