Film Review – Flow

“Flow” is an unusual adventure story from co-writer/director Gints Zilbaodis. There is no dialogue in the picture, which doesn’t include any human characters, sticking close to a cat instead, tracking experiences as the animal joins others on a hunt for higher ground during a catastrophic flood. It’s an animated endeavor, and Zilbaodis remains artful and intense with the feature, using a pure cinematic language to communicate an amazing journey for the feline and its partners. Land is crossed, mountains are climbed, and waters are navigated, giving viewers an active tale of survival that takes interesting turns during the run time. “Flow” is simple in some ways, remaining observational, but it maintains impressive artistry and commitment to the characters, who clearly express themselves as they experience a life-changing challenge of endurance during strange days of catastrophe.
