Audience Says
A beautifully rendered life-affirming journey for all living beings, Flow speaks louder than words.
Adam Graham Detroit News An animated adventure with a gentle touch and a simple message, "Flow" is a bit like the story of Noah's Ark, minus Noah. Rated: A- Dec 13, 2024 Full Review Ty Burr Washington Post It is dreamy, epic, perilous and very beautiful. Rated: 4/4 Dec 6, 2024 Full Review Jake Coyle Associated Press Reflections run through “Flow”, but none more so than the image of ourselves gazing back at it. Rated: 3.5/4 Dec 6, 2024 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Who could have guessed that not one but two of 2024’s best movies would be pro-environmental animated treats in which Mother Nature commands a starring role? Rated: 3.5/4 Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Elsa Fernández-Santos El Pais (Spain) Zilbalodis proves himself as a voice capable of converting the sounds and images of an animal fable into an active meditation for the whole family.

Synopsis A wondrous journey, through realms natural and mystical, Flow follows a courageous cat after his home is devastated by a great flood. Teaming up with a capybara, a lemur, a bird, and a dog to navigate a boat in search of dry land, they must rely on trust, courage, and wits to survive the perils of a newly aquatic planet. From the boundless imagination of the award-winning Gints Zilbalodis (Away) comes a thrilling animated spectacle as well as a profound meditation on the fragility of the environment and the spirit of friendship and community. Steeped in the soaring possibilities of visual storytelling, Flow is a feast for the senses and a treasure for the heart.
