Description: “Shadow in the Cloud” is a thrilling action-adventure film that showcases female empowerment, as women take on extraordinary challenges. The story revolves around Maude Garrett, a Women’s Auxiliary Air Force officer portrayed by Chloë Grace Moretz. Set during World War II, Maude joins an all-male bomber crew in Auckland, New Zealand, tasked with transporting a classified package. As the mission unfolds, she confronts sexism, enemy fire, and even a gremlin while performing daring stunts from the underside of the bomber. The plot defies logic, but its bold and entertaining approach, combined with gritty visuals and a synth-heavy score, makes it a compelling watch. Directed by Roseanne Liang, the film embraces its campy tone, delivering a unique blend of horror and action while highlighting Maude’s resilience against all odds.
