    Flow

    ★★★★½

    I usually don't watch animated movies, but oh my God, Flow was something else. It was incredible how it was able to convey such intense anxiety and fear in one minute, and then transition to an abysmal calm and relief.

    ★★★★★

    I have never, in any other piece of film, found what I found in Her. I can’t even begin to describe what it made me feel the first time I saw it, and all the dozens of times I have re-watched it. I cannot fathom the way it captures something unique about a very specific feeling that cannot be put into words. It's like I get to feel some synesthesia about a feeling; perhaps nostalgia, I hope it's love. And…
