Movie #2171 .........................."Cloudburst" (netflix)

 Movie #2171 "Cloudburst" (netflix - movie)  Based on Fitzgerald's stage play with the same name, I chose to see it because olympia Dukakis died recently, and I have always enjoyed watching Brenda Fricker.  But this film was a huge disappointment.  It had a lot of unnecessary nudity in it and crass language --- I never warmed up to the main character and not much happened in the film --- story is flimsy.  I did like Fricker's character and the young hitchhiker, but the women's  plight to be together was ruined  for me because I wasn't emotionally drawn into the film by the main character.  I give it 2.5 --- cinematography was stunning of Canada in many scenes.  I don't recommend at all.
