Falling Tide

About This Movie

Falling Tide, from 2016, is this intriguing animated piece that feels like a dream, or maybe a waking nightmare. The story unfolds with a boy stuck at a train platform in a desolate setting, which sets a tone of isolation and waiting. The animation style has this unique, almost hand-drawn quality that adds to the fantasy aspect, creating an atmosphere that's both eerie and beautiful. Pacing is deliberate, letting the viewer really soak in the emotion behind the boy's wait. Themes of longing and the passage of time are woven throughout, making you contemplate what it means to wait for something. It's quite distinctive in how it captures that feeling of uncertainty, and while we don’t know the director, the vision is clear. Worth a watch for those who appreciate deeper, atmospheric storytelling in animation.
