Flow

This movie achieves something that even the movies with full on conversations couldn't.

A dreamy, unorthodox, amateur yet profound film that stays with you. In an age of talking animals, a refreshing honesty and naivety in the animation that not only transcends through Hollywood formulae but bursts through it. No clownish jokes or goofy sidekicks here and as such that old play is knocked into a cocked hat. Might prompt the big players to finally be creative and forget about the share holders.

Goes to show how good and emotional a movie can with without a single voice line, as a blender user (the software used to make the movie) this is very impressive, the fluid simulation has its moments where it doesn't look its best but it doesn't really matter when you focus on the story and the characters, the soundtrack is also great.

Six Stars!! 1000/10 A++++++++ Flow speaks louder than Words. Well Deserved that Oscar! It's a triumph for indie animation. Absolute Must-See!

Flow is simply fantastic. It’s a film that moves you without needing to shout. Everything flows with beauty, softness, and depth. The characters feel alive and real, guiding us through an inner journey full of meaning. The direction is sensitive, the soundtrack hits deep, and every scene has soul. It’s the kind of film that stays with you long after it ends.

Flow plays like a visual haiku: minimalistic yet profound. No words are spoken, but the film speaks volumes on isolation, instinct, and the fragile rhythms of coexistence. The film suggests that peace is not a default state but a delicate, shifting balance; one easily unsettled by fear, dominance, or instinct, requiring constant, unspoken negotiation. Set in a world reshaped by flood, Flow reflects on the philosophical notion of impermanence: how survival depends not on strength, but on fluidity, receptiveness, and the willingness to move with change. Rendered in painterly strokes and hushed textures: mist, glances, ripples; Flow offers each creature not just as a character but as a presence, each true to its nature. The film leaves enough space to watch, wonder, and feel. Meaning emerges not through dialogue, but through silence and slow, deliberate motion. Zilbalodis invites us to listen carefully to the quiet negotiations that survival demands. Neither fable nor parable, Flow is a gentle drift through a world undone, where kinship forms not from certainty, but from shared vulnerability.

The animation of this film was really nice but the plot wasn't interesting and honestly got worse as it went on.

Flow is a visually arresting and emotionally rich animated journey that speaks volumes without a single word. Its stunning artistry, evocative soundscape, and gentle pacing create a meditative experience that lingers long after the final frame. A quiet triumph in minimalist storytelling.

Just saw this movie with my kids they loved it and so did I. A great pace and I liked that my kids had to watch & think about what was going on.

"Flow" is one of those rare animations that touch you deeply without saying a single word. Following the journey of a black cat in a post-apocalyptic world, where the water has swallowed everything and only ruins and wandering animals remain, is a sensory and emotional experience that captivated me from beginning to end. The absence of dialogue is not a drawback, but rather a powerful narrative choice. Every gesture, look, and interaction between the characters conveys complex and universal emotions. The subtle soundtrack and natural sounds perfectly complement the film’s contemplative atmosphere. Visually, "Flow" is stunning. The 3D animation, made with Blender software, creates landscapes that look like moving paintings. The minimalist aesthetic, with soft colors and flat textures, contributes to the feeling of a dreamlike and melancholic world. The narrative, although simple, is rich in symbolism. The journey of the cat and its companions — a dog, a capybara, a lemur, and a bird — is a metaphor for empathy, collaboration, and adaptation in times of crisis. The boat they travel in can be seen as a representation of society, where different beings must learn to live together. That said, it’s a very good film.
