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.

Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) It can be playful; it can be deceptively profound. Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Kevin Maher The Times (UK) The world of Flow, like those of the best movies, is hallucinatory and its mood hypnotic, the rolling, seductive frames adding to the illusion of some powerful subconscious truth. Rated: 5/5 Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Jonathan Romney Financial Times Flow shows both formidable technical brilliance and ingenuity, not least because it dispenses with dialogue — quizzical mews, chirrups and rhythmic doggy breaths replacing words. Rated: 3/5 Mar 24, 2025 Full Review David Griffiths Subculture Entertainment A beautiful story that is matched by its visuals. This is the perfect animated film and can only be described as a masterpiece. Rated: 5/5 Jun 21, 2025 Full Review Kevin Fallon The Daily Beast It’s rare to see a movie and think, “I need every kid to see this.” That’s the case with Flow. Jun 11, 2025 Full Review Andiee Paviour Nobody's Reading This But Me A fight for life evolves into a dazzling meditation on love. Rated: 4/5 May 13, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/20/25 Full Review A L R Victory for independent animation and film making. The only regret of mine is that I didn’t see this much sooner. Poor cat has to go through so much peril. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review Terrie Flandermeyer Beautiful graphics. Lovely storyline. The animals were very lifelike in their behaviors.
