Flow (2024)

💭 My Thoughts & Feelings

Watching Flow felt like entering a visual poem — gentle, haunting, and full of quiet emotion. The absence of dialogue made every glance, movement, and sound feel meaningful. I was moved by the cat’s emotional arc — from solitude and fear to cautious trust. The temple scene was especially beautiful and symbolic, and the way each animal represented a part of survival made the journey feel universal.

Despite its simplicity, Flow feels rich. It’s not about thrilling action — it’s about emotional stillness and the slow unraveling of a broken world and a guarded heart.
