If you can follow Annie Hall, you can follow Cloud Atlas. The post-apocalyse section is the toughest because of the dialect spoken by Hanks/Berry/Sarandon, but if you could follow A Clockwork Orange you can follow Cloud Atlas. The "This is hard -- Stop it" reviews are bogus and typical. This film would never have been produced in the US. It is more revolutionary than V for Vendetta (which was predictably savaged by the MSM) was.
