Flood

About This Movie

Flood (2012) directed by Katy Scoggin dives deep into familial conflict with a unique blend of drama and family themes. It follows Miriam, an unemployed journalist, as she journeys to reconnect with her evangelical father, who’s firmly rooted in his beliefs about Noah's Flood and paleontology. The film captures the tension between science and faith, which is quite refreshing. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to soak in the Mojave Desert’s stark beauty and the emotional weight of their strained relationship. Scoggin's direction brings out some solid performances, especially in the nuanced portrayals of father and daughter. Practical effects tie well into the story, giving it an earthy realism that makes it stand apart from typical dramas.
