I didn't enjoy it that much. Found it overly sentimental and saccharine. Although to be fair I got the impression if I were a parent it would resonate with me more.

That’s funny, I found it terribly sad, with a distant backdrop of optimism. Given that it was an allegory, set within a mashup of 3 different mythologies, I suppose it makes sense that it would have multiple interpretations. But yes, it was terribly sad, to my eye.

I mean, I absolutely agree. Was it life changing tho?

Flow was a turning point for me. Haven’t drowned a cat since.
