Critics
Expressive animated documentary Flee beautifully illustrates the personal and universal struggles of a gay Afghan refugee
André Hereford, Metro Weekly
A triumph-of-the-human-spirit story as dramatic as the most finely wrought melodrama
Mark Kermode
A film which simply wouldn’t have worked in any medium but animation
Robbie Collin
This should be taught in schools.
Ella Kemp
A brilliant fusion of documentary filmmaking and striking animation to uniquely deliver a compelling true story, 'Flee' is simply extraordinary.
