'Zondvloed (Flood)' — MiamisFF Review: Between a Flood and a Hard Place
While prioritizing production value over substance, Flood depicts an emotionally taut family drama set during the farmland flooding of the Franco-Dutch war.

After years of obsessive research, a brilliant but isolated physicist succeeds in creating the world's first artificial black hole inside a secret laboratory. Instead of unlocking the secrets of gravity, the experiment tears open reality itself, revealing an impossible truth: the world is not a globe, but one of countless vast, layered planes stacked beyond human perception.
While prioritizing production value over substance, Flood depicts an emotionally taut family drama set during the farmland flooding of the Franco-Dutch war.
The film is a simple love story reminiscent of stories like The Notebook released in 2004. Sylvie and Robert are rarely actually together in the film, however; time and circumstance keep them away from each other, and the audience waits with bated breath to see them find one another over and over.
The fun tricks used in the production design and lighting read extremely well on-screen but hardly fulfill their purpose of trying to inject glamour into a lack-luster story with nothing to say.
We all have our kinks and fetishes and what turns us on the most. Dog Lover details a serious (and at times unhealthy) look at a fetish that might go a little too far.
A dog who needs to learn new tricks in this family comedy.
An impressive narrative structure, a perfect use of the continuous shot technique, and great interpretations make "Boiling Point" one of the best films of 2021.
