Were Robot & Frank (missed this at the Big Scream) and Cloud Atlas any good?

Loved Robot & Frank, still keep thinking about it afterwards, Frank Langella vg.

Cloud Atlas was enjoyable all the way through (172 minutes), they did it by splicing the six stories up and interleaving them often with very quick successive cuts between stories as a voiceover continued from another story to heighten the connectedness. The Frobisher story really came alive with Ben Whishaw as wild-eyed youth, and the Sonmi-451 section very scifi shiny. Jim Broadbent's teeth (as Timothy Cavendish) deserve some sort of award. Probably helped that I knew the stories already. Use of same actors in each sometimes reinforced eternal nature of humanity, sometimes seemed like a gimmick. Extra patterns to spot in the film.

So, yes!
