FILM REVIEWS

“The Flood is a poignant piece and does much to challenge the hateful accusations of “terrorists!” that people fleeing oppressive regimes face when they seek asylum.” ★★★★ Zoe Margolis, CineVue

“A careful, studied portrait of one of the most incendiary topics of modern politics.” ★★★★ Clarisse Loughrey, The Independant

“Directed by Anthony Woodley... this is a resolutely earthbound story, dedicated to the 70 million displaced people around the world, but rarely preachy, and with just enough humanity peeping through the bleakness.” ★★★★ Ed Potton, The Times

“The topic of immigration is bound to cause division, but it’s important films like this exist in order to educate people about the reality.”  Lucy Buglass, JumpCut

“An understated, lean film, shorn of flashy camerawork or narrative pyrotechnics.” ★★★★ Joseph Walsh, Time Out

“The Flood offers a timely and urgent reflection on the current refugee crisis. Masterfully acted, touching and brilliantly measured throughout. A must see.” ★★★★ Linda Marric, HeyUGuys

“This drama notes the casual indignity with which the government treats displaced people.” ★★★ Simran Hans, The Observer

“The "flood" in "The Flood," directed by Anthony Woodley, with a script by Helen Kingston, is both metaphorical and literal, with multiple tiers of meaning” ★★★ Sheila O'Malley. RogerEbert.com

“The Flood takes a combustible topic and weaves into its structure the comforts of a modern thriller, affording the audience with the opportunity to indulge in a bit of political discourse without an overbearing moral lesson weighing it down. This is the way all films with a message should be told.” Aaron B. Peterson, The Hollywood Outsider
