"By rights, Gilda Bessé (Charlize Theron) should be languishing in a grand 1940s melodrama."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
2/4
"...a well-made, visually distinctive period piece that's nevertheless a complete bore almost from start to finish."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
C
"The film is emotionally distanced from its audience, too stoic and stuffy. You'd never guess a film with as much sex as this one could be so stodgy, but there you go."

2/4
"Head in the Clouds wants us to use the word 'sprawling' to describe its epic nature. Please, even Red Dawn sprawled several months."

"It is considerably more interesting when it is exploring the seeming contradiction between Gilda's loyalty and her hedonistic tendencies."
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov
C-
"An almost ludicrously old-fashioned epic that presents a string of melodramatic cliches with a flamboyant earnestness that accentuates...their absurdity."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
2/5
"This laborious melodrama about a hedonistic free-spirit fails to sustain our interest."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
1.5/5
"There's never a dull moment and seldom one that isn't sublimely ridiculous."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
4/10
"This old-fashioned melodrama tips its fateful hand too early and shatters suspense. Despite their off-screen romance, Theron and Townsend have zero on-screen chemistry."

Susan Granger
1/4
"It's a watched pot that never boils because there's no fire lit beneath it."
