FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://movieswetextedabout.com/flow-review-a-dialogue-free-tale-that-speaks-volumes/ "Flow is a celebration of resilience and collective spirit in times of adversity, as well as a potent reminder of the consequences of human actions on the environment. With its immersive animation, emotional music, and unique narrative approach, Gints Zilbalodis invites viewers of all ages and backgrounds to reflect on the ability to adapt and unite - not just among species, but within society itself. It's a testament to the profound, universal messages that can reside in the simplest of stories, inspiring empathy, respect, and awareness of the fragility and beauty of nature." Rating: B+

Yes, this film is largely a visual treat but what more do we get here? A fairy tale about different spices getting along – except for with fishes of course, who are merely colorful props who conveniently don't scream. But this fairy tale has little to do with reality, as seen in Europe during the last decade – even if its crude message probably is largely why this film has been received so positively. Or maybe we are supposed to learn something about global warming? We know about that already but few change their lives much and this film won't...

Sometimes the simplest yet most profound messages we can receive come from the unlikeliest of sources. So it is with the second animated feature from writer-director Gints Zilbalodis, a stunningly beautiful, inspiringly insightful odyssey about a band of animals seeking to find their way and survive in a new world. When a great flood essentially destroys the world of man, a wide-eyed black cat must figure out how to get by when this consuming deluge wipes out the existence he has known, armed with only his own wits and the cooperation of fellow animal kindreds, including a capybara, a meerkat,...

Beautiful movie but quite simple and obviously meaningless, you need to have studied art to get close to understand what they want to convey. Oscar for best animation but that's all it's good for. A lot of awards but it's really a movie that you don't understand. And to think that another Oscar nominee for best animation 2025 was The Wild Robot .... _**Good HDR TV color checker.**_

After a fairly scary start with a group of growling dogs, our usually quite sedentary cat makes it’s way back to a comfortable bed just in time for an inundation to flood his surrounding forest dwelling. There is no sign of any human being anywhere, but a small boat floats by manned by a coypu. The cat hops aboard and after an initial spat, the host settles back to sleep and they continue to drift aimlessly along what appear to be brand new waterways, meeting an host of fellow creatures along the way. Some appear friendly, others less so with...

Director Gints Zilbalodis has created a visionary work of art with “Flow,” an absolutely jaw-dropping, stunning animated film that takes viewers on a breathtaking journey through both the natural and mystical realms. Following a courageous cat and an unlikely band of animal companions as they navigate a flooded, post-apocalyptic world, the film is an emotionally charged, visually immersive film that combines high stakes, environmental themes, and an unforgettable sense of adventure. This is a film that completely drew me in from the very first frame, and not just with its beautiful animation, but with its deep, resonant story about survival,...

My wife liked it, I hadn't even heard of it. And I'll be honest, the animation irritated me, I found it jarring and off putting. It wasn't bad, it wasn't disturbing, it was just jarring and off putting, almost like the videos you see on social media of people cleaning barnacles off whales with a broom, it's that level of jarring and off putting. But the story is actually not bad, it's a bit on the fun side and a bit on the heart warming side, so consider it a good review. I wouldn't watch it a second time, but...

Flow (2024) Directed by Gints Zilbalodis I wanted to watch Flow because it was made entirely on Blender, the FOSS animation program. FOSS stands for Free and Open Source Software, programs available to anyone for free, built and maintained by a global community of developers who believe software should be accessible rather than locked behind corporate paywalls. I had Blender installed on my computer once but found the learning curve too steep to justify for my limited needs. Nevertheless, I was impressed by what's possible when you can actually access professional-grade tools without mortgaging your creative future to Adobe or...
