Tideland is a disturbing, and mostly unwatchable effort from Terry Gilliam.

The movie itself feels like an overstuffed burrito: Nicola Pecorini's cinematography has verve but no visual sense, and the film's self-important pace turns deadening over the long haul. Oct 27, 2006 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

The film drags in the middle and feels excruciatingly slow and repetitive in the final stretch. Oct 20, 2006 | Rating: 2/4

Gilliam's plan to make a small budget film of limited scope that would leave him free to display his unfettered creative genius sounds good on paper. However, his melodramatic, Alice In Wonderland variety fairy tale is sadly near-incomprehensible. Nov 3, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

It works best when Gilliam allows Jeliza-Rose to disappear inside her own mind, revelling in unrestricted solitude. Oct 30, 2018 | Full Review…

It is true that Gilliam makes his movies through fire and brimstone just by examining his extraordinary filmography, and there is no denying that Tideland is a film that was borne out of that. Aug 9, 2018 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…

...in the midst of all the perverse chaos, a story emerges that is easily the most tender and even sentimental in all of Gilliam's work. Jun 9, 2010 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…

It seems, from the flat-out filmic disaster of "Tideland," that director Terry Gilliam is intent on ensuring a decisive end to his checkered filmmaking career. Apr 24, 2009 | Rating: F | Full Review…
