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.
