Editor’s Note: Here’s a concise reflection on Flee (2021): A true blend of documentary and animation with a personal touch, Jonas Poher Rasmussen crafts a compelling narrative grounded in character development rather than frivolous visuals. The performances by Amin Nawabi, Daniel Karimyar, and Fardin Mijdzadeh bring emotional weight to the story. At 1 hour and 29 minutes, the film maintains a steady pace and seldom lingers unnecessarily. While it has its imperfections, its strengths shine through, making it a noteworthy watch. The tagline—“Sometimes it takes years to start living your life”—captures its essence perfectly. If this theme resonates with you, add it to your watchlist.
