Release
The film had its world premiere at the 2022 Fantastic Fest,[4] and was later screened in numerous festivals including Rome Film Festival, Sitges Film Festival, Brooklyn Horror Film Festival, Strasbourg European Fantastic Film Festival, and Trieste Science+Fiction Festival.[3] It was released in Italian cinemas on 10 November 2022.[3]
Reception
La Repubblica's film critic Alberto Crespi praised the film, describing Flowing as 'a horror film with a mournful and melodramatic heart' that proved the genre being still alive, even in Italy.[5] Camillo De Marco from Cineuropa described the film as an 'emotional horror film' inclinating 'towards a hybridisation of films observing society and genre films'.[3] Douglas Davidson from Elements of Madness wrote: 'Though Flowing is very on-the-nose with its messaging, it’s no less impactful due to its creativity'.[6] Sara D’Ascenzo from Corriere del Veneto was more critical of the film, noting it 'seem more like a rough draft, a film school graduation essay, than an accomplished artistic act'.[7]
