Low Tide

Dang, it was good right up til it ended without an actual end! This is one of those you really enjoy right up until the end and it's like a slap in the face of you just watched this for nothing! I want my money back! Really sux cuz it had so much potential, I take back my 5 and give it a one for it ruining my enjoyment of it! Shameful

Well made, suspenseful some unique twists and ideas. I would give this a thumbs up!

Jaden again... In this day and age film lovers worship A24 as the gods of film (for good reason). Everyone and their mother has heard of Lady Bird and Call Me By Your Name. While these are great films they are far from "underground". Low Tide is somewhat of a hidden gem in the A24 collection, that is often overlooked.

Low tide is about a young boy who is taken in by is brother and his criminal friends to rob tourist's beach houses. In the last decade there haven't been any films released that capture the treasure hunting spirit of the Goonies. Low Tide is a coming of age movie that isn't rubbing it in your face. The "coming of age feeling" didn't hit me until the credits rolled, as a genuine coming of age film should. The movie captures a real feeling that isn't polished up and romanticized like many films like it.

I would absolutely recommend Low Tide to anyone looking for a coming of age adventure.

Not much to complain about here. The acting is good, the story is good, there are likeable characters played by likable actors (Jaeden Martell and Keean Johnson) and a couple of 'hissable' villains (Alex Neustaedter and Daniel Zolghadri). The only trouble is that we've seen this sort of thing done many times before and there is nothing particularly unusual about this movie to make it stand out from the crowd. Even the soundtrack of this movie sounds like the sort of soundtrack all these movies have - all sombre cellos and slow strings. I couldn't help thinking of 'The Outsiders' as I watched this, though that is a much better movie and has the added benefit of coming first.

As I said, there is nothing wrong with this movie at all. It is done well and I enjoyed it. It just doesn't stand out.

Well crafted indie flick with fun acting and some great twists! Enjoyed the heck out this one. Read a Washington Post article out of Tribeca that said this was only an $850k budget. Rare to see well directed stuff at this level. Reminds me of "Brick". Curious to see McMullen's next one.
