Review by kasserlannister

Couldn't get the Palisades fire in my head while watching "Flow" and all the affected wildlife from coyotes to birds and bats, from that baby deer and mountain lions we saw all over social media. "Flow" is essentially that, only on a different element but effectuated by the same crisis; a film told in the POV of a voiceless, sentient creature who just wanted to survive and catch air over nondiscriminatory impacts of the climate crisis.

"Flow" is not a labyrinthine story but done with so much care and compassion, framed in one of the best cinematography and score of its year, worthy of its win at the Golden Globes. But I believe this project is more a cautionary tale and a reminder of who we are and how important communal action and compassion are, so be kind to everyone; we all strive for survival and life. And that encompasses other species. I take comfort in the fact that whichever film wins at the Oscars is a triumph for all wildlife.
