Review of Tideland (2005) by Sam R — 29 Oct 2008
A wonderfully strange and saddening film. Gilliam being a master of weird, encapsulates the world of a lonely little girl in depressing circumstances and gives her, her own little worldview that she shares with the audience, allowing for a truly heartwarming and hilarious film.
Jeff Bridges is excellent as the little girl's father, and Jodelle erland shows real promise as a young up and coming star. This film uses peculiar direction and an element of darkness to give a marvellous Gilliamesque nod to Alice in Wonderland.
Gilliam is a master of cinema and this gem of a film only further proves that.
