G-S-T Review…Cloud Atlas

Instead of using a straight-forward narrative tale, it balances flashbacks of her rise from mere grocer’s daughter to the first female Prime Minister of England with her current state of dementia and everything that entails. Phyllida Lloyd is at the helm of this melodrama that seems to merely exist as a textbook of…
