Epic in scope yet clear-eyed and intimate, Human Flow offers a singularly expansive -- and sobering -- perspective on the global refugee crisis.

Its dazzling drone photography sends you gliding over vast expanses of ocean and desert yet the film itself leads to the inescapable conclusion that the world is shrinking. Mar 16, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The scattershot and lengthy documentary doesn't attempt to be a news report...but the cumulative impact of its often haunting images brings home the plight of millions of the world's people. Dec 7, 2017 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

It does not browbeat or preach, it simply shows, and what it shows is overwhelming. Nov 10, 2017 | Rating: A | Full Review…

Ai's film becomes more digressive than discursive. Rather than contending with the information saturation around the crisis, Human Flow falls prey to it. Footage is layered without clear logic, poetic or narrative. Oct 31, 2017 | Full Review…

At 140 minutes, Human Flow runs a little long, and there are a few too many superfluous interludes. But that doesn't stop it from being a very moving piece that will go down as one of 2017's most important documentaries. Feb 19, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

In beautiful visual language, Ai Weiwei conveys the stark horror and brutalist logic of the choices people make when stuck between a rock and a hard place -- or a war and abject poverty. Nov 28, 2018 | Full Review…

The camera in Human Flow lingers on people as they walk, hold their young children, tell their stories, and often cry, and it becomes incredibly difficult for the audience not to address their reactions to it. Aug 25, 2018 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

It is an immersive and often straightforward travelogue, one that lingers on faces and bodies in motion, not particularly academic but always engrossing. Aug 20, 2018 | Full Review…
