'Flow' Review: A Cat's-Eye View of The End of The World

In this masterful animated film, a cat, a capybara, a lemur, and a Labrador Retriever get in a boat and try to survive a flooded world.

2024 was an incredible year for animated films from The Wild Robot to Inside Out 2 and Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. However, arguably the most acclaimed movie of the bunch is a little movie from Latvia about a little black cat trying to find his way home.

Flow is a dialogue-free animated adventure following a black cat, whose home is ruined by a flood. In order to find safety and a new home, the feline hops aboard a boat populated by other animals including a capybara, a lemur, and a yellow lab.

The movie is directed by Gints Zilbalodis and has already earned itself plenty of awards, winning Best Animated Film at the Golden Globes, the National Board of Review, the New York Film Critics Circle, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, and the European Film Awards.
