Movie #2103 "Flee" (Hulu) -- Here's another Oscar-nominated film, for animated full feature and Foreign Language Film. And I really got into this one --- it's one of the best I have seen all year. And it is to topical because it shows the viewer what it is really like to be a refugee. Riz Ahmid voices the main character Amin, a refuge from Afghanistan. It is a tough journey and it is based on a true story . We tend to think that the refuge's problem is over once he gets out of the war-torn country, but we learn that isn't the case at all. the film, through animation, draws us into this family as each one tries to escape in his/her own way. Because Amin is having trouble putting his journey into words, the film choose animation so for a long time you feel detached, like he feels, as he journeys from one bad situation to the next. I thinly recommend this movie which to me was a 5 out of 5 stars. I will be rooting for it on Oscar night.
