The Flood

Some say in this thread this movie is a propaganda!! Its a TRUE reflection of the reality of life in the 21st century!! Well crafted and acted movie.

This is a serious film, a sort of snapshot of the movement of a few people from hell along the migration path to the UK. It is slow. It is methodical. It is a beautiful picture. I stayed with it because I was interested in what Leana Hedey would be interested to work on after GOT. And this is it. At the end I see why she did it. Everyone here does a fine job and the story is a solid drama that evryone should care about. It is rather sad and tense, maybe that is why many give it a low star count. Or maybe there is some racist objections being recorded, though I hope not. It is at least a solid seven. Heady does a lot of acting inside a rather small part.

I usually think IMDB scores are fairly accurate, but it seems that this is something that doesn't apply to political movies. The fact that filmmakers, like all creatives, might reflect their views, political or otherwise, in their art seems to be something people can't handle. A gripping story, fantastic cast, and a strong message should see this movie score a way higher score than it currently has. Watch it and judge for yourself!

Make no mistake, this is a good film. But it is also overshadowed by its leftists political bias, so you find yourself almost with two reviews.

The film itself is a great story, well made and acted. The main characters are very likeable and you can easily find yourself rooting for them and understanding them all regardless of their positions at the opposite ends of the spectrum.

Whilst this story can easily hold many real world truths for many people, it is a clear propoganda project... Which in such a sensitive time could easily ruin the viewing experience for those emotionally tied to current events if you do not side with the left. Whilst this is a heart warming and heart breaking story, it clearly has a political leaning in order to make a point which in real life may not be totally accurate, as the film does go to some length to suggest illegal immigration = victim/ good, and the British establishment = bad.

Due to its attempt to create a fact based story (which is in itself a good film) but with corrupting bias, it cannot be worth more than a 6.

Just watched this film and I feel it is a much better film than it's rating suggests. Desperate story of one mans desperate attempt to reach the UK at any cost and of a hard - keeping to the rule book immigration officer. Great performances by all starring. I give it 8/10. Watch it it's a good film
