Tide

About This Movie

So, "Tide" is this intriguing little piece of animation that really leans into its atmosphere. You’ve got this guy navigating a landscape that feels both vast and confining, which is an interesting combination. The high tide motif here isn’t just about the water; it’s more about the encroaching dread and isolation. The pacing, a bit languid at times, adds to that feeling of helplessness. You can really sense the existential undertones, and the visuals are striking, almost haunting in their simplicity. There’s something raw about how it’s animated, too. It’s not your typical polished animation—there’s an edge to it, a sort of gritty charm that makes it stand out. Definitely a conversation starter, if nothing else.
