Li S This blends mystery, sci-fi and psychological drama in a way that feels unusual and quite different. it has a strong sense of mood and direction. The performances by the young and older actors feel genuine and the cinematography / original music gives it a distinctive style. For something made outside the studio system, it’s surprisingly polished. A complex story that actually follows through. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/09/25 Full Review Jan E. S Flights of Reverie is the kind of indie film that doesn’t shout—it whispers, and that’s what makes it powerful. The cinematography is stunning, and the sound design wraps around you like a dream. Some moments feel almost poetic—I caught myself just watching the light and forgetting the plot, in a good way. It’s not an easy watch if you expect clear answers, but if you love atmosphere, emotion, and meaning between the lines, this film stays with you long after the credits. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/06/25 Full Review Gorgeous G If David Lynch ever lived in Berlin and made an eco-thriller, this film would come pretty close. It is great that a film doesn't put all the pieces together for you, you have to draw some of your own conclusions. It is clear that power is what everyone wants. The vacuums left by leaders not taking responsibility leave an excellent stage for power grabs and chaos. Very thought provoking. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/25 Full Review Laure F Flights of Reverie is a thoughtful indie gem that blends striking imagery with layered storytelling. The pace is deliberate, drawing you into a world where philosophy and tension collide in unexpected ways. Berlin becomes a character of its own, adding atmosphere and charm, while the younger cast delivers refreshingly strong performances. Unique touches—like the inventive chase scene—make this film stand out. If you enjoy cinema that challenges you while still surprising with originality, this is well worth watching. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/01/25 Full Review faber21 c Maybe I'm a bit biased since I know some of the cast and crew who worked on this. But what they pulled off was pretty extraordinary given the circumstances of filming in Berlin during this time. It's a great and ambitious debut by Li, and hats off to her for making something that's very much worth watching and enjoying during a comfy evening on the sofa. Give it a watch. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/28/25 Full Review impressiveascanbe a Flights of Reverie isnt a typical film and that’s what I liked about it. It gave me a different perspective on Europe, kind of off the usual path. The score really adds to the atmosphere — making a scene quietly beautiful. Definitely quirky as they advertise, good acting, pretty memorable. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/28/25 Full Review Read all reviews
