    • Quotes

      Stella: Y'know, I saw this TV show: Rosie O'Donnell took a bunch of dykes on a cruise to Nova Scotia, then this flock of lesbians got married there.

      Dot: Flock?

      Stella: That's what they call us when we're in a group; a gaggle of gays, a flock of lesbians. Like in nature.

      Dot: Stella, are you proposing to me?

      Stella: Maybe.

    Beautiful, wonderful, hilarious
    If I had to choose a film among all those I have seen the last 5 years, I couldn't recommend more Cloudburst!

    This is an hilarious love story at each and every minute.

    Cloudburst is also a very touching comedy, beautiful.

    Brenda's Fricker (Dot) and Olympia's Dukakis (Stella) acting is purely magic! They carry us in a road trip with Ryan Doucette (Prentice). At the end, the film received a full standing ovation! It deserves fully all nominations and awards it has received!

    By now, I'm sure that whatever plan you have tonight, you will cancel it to watch Cloudburst. Don't hesitate anymore!
