A solitary cat, displaced by a great flood, finds refuge on a boat with various species and must navigate the challenges of adapting to a transformed world together.

Following a world premiere in Cannes, FLOW then screened in Annecy where it won three juried prizes as well as the Audience Award, before going onto a North American premiere at TIFF.

GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINEE:
BEST MOTION PICTURE – ANIMATED

“Critic’s Pick! Zilbalodis largely avoids the sort of whimsy and sentimentality that might plague, say, a Disney movie with the same premise. The animals act like real animals, not like cartoons or humans, and that restraint gives their adventure an authenticity that, in moments of both delight and peril, makes the emotion that much more powerful.”
Calum Marsh, The New York Times

“One of the year’s richest discoveries, ‘Flow’ belongs as much to a timeline of animal-centric masterpieces (‘Au hasard Balthazar,’ ‘Gunda,’ ‘EO’) as it does the history of animated indies. And in its simple, generous spirit of giving these creatures palpable narrative power, there’s a profundity: ‘Flow’ might only be imagining their coping skills without us, but it’s a charming, poignant vision of community and perseverance we could stand to be inspired by.”
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

“Four stars! ‘Flow,’ Latvia’s entry for Best International Feature Film at the Oscars, shimmers with the essence of life and the spirit of selfless cooperation. Its narrative clarity makes its fable seem timeless, while innovating and expanding the visual immersion of its medium. Starring an expressive black cat, who presumably had an adoring human owner, as its protagonist, ‘Flow’ introduces us to a land devoid of people. Evidence that they once inhabited this forest area exists, but we are likely observing a post-humanity timeline as the Earth heals itself from our transgressions.”
