Movie Reviews

Reviews:
"[T]he film is an incredibly intimate act of sharing." - 01/28/2021 Variety


"It’s a powerful and poetic memoir of personal struggle and self-discovery that expands the definition of documentary." - 01/28/2021 Hollywood Reporter


5 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t’s a genuine thrill to encounter a film as exciting and immediate as FLEE, a much-needed jolt of energy..." - 01/31/2021 The Guardian


4 stars out of 4 -- "Evocatively animated in a style that is visually sparse but emotionally vibrant, with a strong sense of motion and interiority." - 12/03/2021 RogerEbert.com


"FLEE has moments of great joy. An exhilarating sequence of young Amin dashing through the streets of Kabul to A-ha’s ‘Take On Me’, with a whirl of energy and flight that recalls the kinetic animation of the band’s music video, is quite wondrous." - 12/03/2021 Sight and Sound
