One of most ambitious films ever made, 'Cloud Atlas' succeeds on all levels

Excerpt:

"Cloud Atlas" ought to not work. But it does. Lana Wachowski, Andy Wachowski and Tom Tykwer have wrangled David Mitchell's beast of a story and provided a haunting, full-bodied tour de force, and a totally unprecedented movie experience. Based on Mitchell's relatively unfilmable book , "Cloud Atlas" is among the most ambitious movies ever made. Its structure is so complicated and fragile that just the least disruption in believability of tale or character can conveniently tip the movie to catastrophe . But co-directors and authors Lana Wachowski, Andy Wachowski and Tom Tykwer successfully deliver a masterful tightrope act. Like a musical sextet, "Cloud Atlas" focuses on six stories , its characters moving in harmonic developments with the centuries.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
