    Bug 1975

    ★★ Watched 04 Mar 2025

    Rashomon 1950

    ★★★★ Watched 03 Mar 2025 2

    ★★★★ Watched 09 Feb 2025 2

    Unlike any animated film I’ve ever seen. Wordless, mostly plotless, Flow still manages to hypnotize with gorgeous, slightly unusual animation and a beautifully realized feline protagonist you’re rooting for every step of the way.
