The Great Flood Ratings & Reviews
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
Has a remarkably keen sense of time and place, and Morrison immerses us in a world that feels remarkably similar to our own, even through 87 years of film dirt and grain.
Spectrum Culture
Pat Padua
Comes not to praise history but to bury it in layers of prestige, the disaster's surviving documenters in the blues not even given a chance to be heard.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Kathy Fennessy
The Great Flood offers a meditative, purposefully Brechtian examination of destruction.
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
Having taken the flood out of time, Morrison plants it firmly in space - or as firm as any dreamscape can be. He's made a sort of travelog, and it's destination is inundation.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
John Beifuss
The damage gives the images an appropriately mud-spattered, post-disaster appearance; sometimes the splotchy, jumpy degradation transforms these smalltown flood scenes into abstract animated splatter paintings.
Oregonian
Jamie S. Rich
Brief title cards orient the viewer to the history, but the moving combination of sound and image ends up being more profound than any explanatory narration could ever be.
Seattle Times
Paul de Barros
Somehow it feels wrong to enjoy a story about so much suffering.
L.A. Weekly
Chuck Wilson
Destined for a long life in museums and history classes alike, this is cinema as art, and a classic.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Most of all it's a unique, highly immersing audio-visual experience that would be as at home in a museum as it is in a movie theater - and that's a first-order compliment.
Film.com
Jordan Hoffman
The movie on its own would have been nice, but with this music it's sublime.
The Dissolve
Noel Murray
The Great Flood works as a wordless narrative of human endurance.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
A striking experiment in music and moviemaking.
Slant Magazine
Eric Henderson
Even in comparatively conventional mode, Bill Morrison's work still benefits from the poetic potential of nature's repossession of its own elements.
