Zilbalodis’s Flow is a really moving, well-written & impressively animated film centered on a brave cat journeying through a post-apocalyptic world.
Leaving behind the anthropomorphic tradition of animated films, Flow’s a groundbreaking step forward for the genre. Thanks @curzoncinemas.bsky.social

The biggest surprise of this year's London Film Festival is The Holdovers.
I had no expectations, but Alexander Payne knows how to create a fantastic comedy. The perfect Christmas-themed nostalgic and bittersweet movie.
