Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

sergepesic Well, that is the world we live in. Relentless greed, appalling lack of information on our media, corruption and oppression. Water will be the cause of the biggest war that this unfortunate planet ever had. Money, power, oil- all the good reasons for violence and bloodletting. But, water- the pure life force is something that we can not live without. It isn't about greed or desire to possess- it is about survival. Corporations are the devil. They own politicians, they own media, they own the world. You cant even sue them, the whole corrupt system works for their benefit. But the human spirit bursts and explodes, and the world we live in, will change or evaporate like it never was.

carsteniq This documentary is a good example, of so many, how our monetary system really operates and its consequences it generates. How wealth gets transfered from the poor to the rich and how short term profit results in long term destruction. How a small group of rich people decide the faith and future of so many people in this world. This is also better known as corporatocracy. I would have liked to see more from the scientific side to support some of the arguments of the movie especially in terms of technology used right now and the total consequence of it. Also a bit more evidence in total would have given this documentary more momentum. But, I must say most of this movie is well researched and it speaks for itself. Points are very clear made.

intelearts I love the critic who gave this two stars: they only have one review, and they lump Flow, Sicko, No Logo together under the title of "Anti-capitalist" - they are more than entitled to their opinion, but rather like those who dismiss environmental damage as a necessary collateral of feeding the masses, so water is just water, huh, not THE commodity of the 21st century?Should it be privatized? Should it be run for a profit? Why do I pay taxes? Given that water is the ultimate human need shouldn't it be the most carefully guarded human right? At least Flow starts to ask and raise these questions.If you thought An Inconvenient Truth was an eye opener Flow will change forever your awareness of water issues.If the purpose of this type of documentary is to raise awareness then it succeeds. Massively.

GabrielaHaro I remember a certain web page that featured "unseen movie reviews", based on the idea that, to make a review for some movies, it is only necessary to watch the trailer, and not the entire film (and sometimes, not even that)... this was the case of movies such as I am Sam or others of that kind. No doubt this is also the case of FLOW. One of the comments above stated that this movie certainly "had heart"... well this might just be the problem. Ideas such as this should not try to appeal mostly to our feelings. Also, in the broad context of the growing awareness about the supposed sad state of our planet's ecology(and especially, in regard to the main causes of this condition), this movie is anything but original... a piece about the future scarcity of water was just the next logical step. Like The Corporation, No Logo and Sicko, this is just another form of crass anti-capitalism... I expect this movie to be a big hit in France. I did not like the one-sided and blatantly biased approach to a serious subject that this movie proposed.
