In the nine-minute "Making of Head in the Clouds" featurette included on the DVD release, Duigan says the war is like another character in the film, which may explain why the war itself is also hard to take seriously.

Clouds drift above the hustle of the world below, knowing they belong to another realm that cannot be affected by its frenzy, reminding us that peace is always available to us.
When a ray of light breaks through the clouds, their dramatic filtering only makes the light more beautiful by contrast, just as we can shine more brightly in the midst of life's challenges.

 Head in the Clouds Movie Review - Head in the Clouds Movie Trailer - The Boston Globe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
"Head in the Clouds" might not be livelier if the actress reprised her role as serial killer Aileen Wuornos from last year's "Monster," but it'd probably be mercifully shorter.
Anyway, you know where this is all heading: to the scene where everyone gathers around the wireless to listen to Churchill declare war on Germany.
It wasn't the prosthetics that propelled her performance in "Monster" to success, it was the animal rage she conveyed, and "Head in the Clouds" is far too decorous for such emotions.

Gilda takes off on a transglobal romp that eventually finds her in Paris, where Guy catches up with her and moves in to the flat she shares with her protegé and dubious lover Mia (Penélope Cruz).
The most desperate attempt at sexiness is placing Gilda and Guy in a bathtub with nothing on except hats and neckties.
And surely the urgency of their desire in another scene could have been communicated without Guy having to forgo any foreplay and immediately drop to his knees, going for broke with his head up Gilda's skirt.

Plot Summary: HEAD IN THE CLOUDS is a sweeping romantic drama set in 1930's England, Paris, and Spain.
Personally, I feel that Stuart Townsend is in over his head in trying to be the man that captivates the debutante of France as played by Miss Theron.
He plays the part well but seems to be miscast in a role that needs a man that is stronger physically as well as mentally.

 Movie Review: Head in the Clouds | Mountain Xpress | mountainx.com
Despite the film's terribly generic title, it would be possible to give John Duigan's Head in the Clouds a free pass based on eye-candy alone.
Taken on that level, Head in the Clouds is some kind of cockeyed masterpiece, albeit one that seems derived from a raft of other movies, with a smattering of literary influences tossed in for good measure.
But all in all, Head in the Clouds is ultimately a rather old-fashioned movie, and much more of a movie movie than a realistic one in its depiction of a selfish heroine and her two very idealistic lovers.

 Head in the Clouds - Rotten Tomatoes
Head in the Clouds wants us to use the word 'sprawling' to describe its epic nature.
This wartime epic is so full of silly scenes and clichéd dialogue that its attempts to look classy could be likened to seeking a place for a whoopie cushion in the heart of the Louvre.
