Ebb-tide

About This Movie

Ebb-tide is quite the unique documentary, isn’t it? Directed by Mary Field, this film has this gentle yet mesmerizing quality that pulls you into the underwater world. The way it captures marine life during rising tides at Millport is just intriguing. You see creatures like urchins and crabs, shy but presented with such elegance. Field manages to balance a serene atmosphere with an almost playful pacing that keeps you engaged. It’s not your typical documentary; there’s a certain charm in its approach, almost as if it’s inviting you to become part of that ebb and flow of life beneath the waves. And the practical effects, while simple, enhance the experience without overshadowing the real stars—the animals themselves.
