New Showbiz Analysis

Flocking is a character-driven drama that explores the conflict between an individual and a collective.

While it lacks explicit markers for LGBTQ+ or racial diversity, it offers a progressive critique of social cohesion. Ultimately, the film's impact stems from its exploration of systemic injustice and the breakdown of communal morality in a localized setting.
