Nothing like seeing a movie photographed with real intelligence and personality to make you even madder about how mediocre almost everything else looks right now

The @bostonglobe.com calls FLOW "one of the best movies of the year!"

In theaters across the US starting tomorrow.

www.bostonglobe.com/2024/12/04/a...

One of the best movies of the year is a wordless, Latvian animated film about a cat. It’s called ‘Flow.’ - The Boston Globe

Director Gints Zilbalodis’s beautiful fable follows a feline and its motley crew of animals on a journey to find solace in a rapidly flooding world.

Payal Kapadia’s ALL WE IMAGINE AS LIGHT has won Best International Feature at the 2024 Gotham Awards.

“For me, romance is a political choice,” she told me in a recent interview. “To look through the gaze of romance allows us to have a world of light. That is something worth working hard to keep.”

Just saw FLOW, Latvia’s entry for International Feature and a qualified Animated Feature for the Oscars. I’m not sure WILD ROBOT doesn’t have a formidable opponent. What an incredible film.

I saw this movie this morning, and it was both really touching and really beautiful.
And when I got home, I gave my cat lots of hugs.
