Flutter centers its emotional weight on the resilience of a mother facing poverty and isolation. The film succeeds in elevating women's ability to drive the story by positioning a woman as the central figure navigating survival without a male partner present. However, the film's diversity is difficult to gauge. While it tackles systemic issues like incarceration, the lack of specific details regarding race, religion, or disability prevents a more comprehensive assessment of its inclusivity. Ultimately, the work functions as a social realist drama that challenges traditional domestic hierarchies through a lens of maternal struggle.
