High Tide

About This Movie

High Tide is one of those quiet, introspective films that really gets under your skin. The way Tarik, played by an understated lead, navigates his emotions after a tough divorce is relatable, and the Veluwe setting really adds to the film's atmosphere. You can feel the tension in the air when he meets Jonas—there’s a slow burn to their relationship that draws you in. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of silence to speak volumes, enhancing the emotional weight of their connection. The practical effects, mostly in the natural light and setting, really ground the film. It’s not flashy, but it’s raw, and it sticks with you long after the credits roll.
