	Author	Review
United States	Jay Weissberg Variety	"'Human Flow' is basically Refugees for Dummies (...) There’s nothing especially distinctive about the package"	NEG
United States	Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"A compelling overview of hell on earth (...) The film has an amazing breadth and a relentless moral drive that will make it a reference point for this subject"	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"The most necessary and comprehensive documentary to date about our planet’s current refugee crisis (...) An open-hearted and intricately woven mosaic that travels to 23 different countries"	POS
United Kingdom	Lee Marshall Screendaily	"[It] is a profoundly human film, a heartfelt call to empathy, but also something of a politicised nature documentary (...) 'Human Flow' is at heart an immersive world tour of more than 40 refugee camps in 23 countries"	POS
United Kingdom	Jordan Hoffman The Guardian	"A visual tone poem that proves both epic and highly human (...) [It] has so many empathetic moments (...) Ai Weiwei’s camera shows us the enormity of the problem (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"'Human Flow' makes a virtue of its vastness, creating an epic tapestry of souls (...) Many of its images are staggering (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
