Critics consensus

“Flow is an informative, disturbing and enthralling film that highlights a criminally underreported problem.”

Ted Fry

RTSeattle TimesNov 7, 2008

Problems are addressed in a narrative progression that gets more horrendous and builds into utter despair, except for the final few words of activism and optimism.

All of Salina's interviews and data tell a graphic story about corporate water piracy, the complicity of governments, the burden put on the poor and the scam of bottled water. But she can't quite jam it all in and still have a film that, well, flows.

As if we didn't have enough to worry about.

Martin Tsai

RTNew York SunApr 22, 2023

It taps into a conflict on the most surface level without actually tracking the causes and effects over time, as a serious documentary should.
