While the script by director Olivier Assayas is a radically mixed bag - it's generally effective when the film focuses on the characters but falls apart when dealing with the play-within-a-film, 'Clouds of Sils Maria' features magnificent performances from its female leads, Juliette Binoche, Kristen Stewart, and Chloë Grace Moretz, to keep the story moving and lively. The film is a fine showcase for the actresses and they are luminous in their roles.
