 Tideland - Arts and Faith
TIDELAND is a riveting fable about an abandoned girl's life and fantasies that introduces us to the extraordinary, suspenseful and surreal world of a precocious adolescent, Jeliza Rose, escaping from the harsh reality of her childhood.
TIDELAND is produced with the participation of the Foresight Film Partnership in the UK, Telefilm Canada, Astral Media, The Canadian Television Fund and the Harold Greenberg Fund in Canada.
Tideland feels Gilliam-esque (visually alluring and semi-pastoral at times with a Fisher King-like fetish for dust and grunge and curio clutter) but it was very tough going, for the most part.

 Tideland - Rotten Tomatoes
Tideland is a disturbing, and mostly unwatchable effort from Terry Gilliam.
"Tideland" is frustrating for the way it refuses to coalesce.
Despite a few psychologically insightful touches about how children learn to survive misery, Tideland is borderline unwatchable, although, as is true of all Gilliam movies, it certainly is different.

 Lost In the Southern Gothic Fun House   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Though similar in their uses of the Texas landscape, these two novelists take disparate roads to arrive at the same atmospheric eeriness which is the Gothic.
Although it is filled with gore and demented humor, Tideland is at heart a character study of a poor eleven year old girl named Jeliza-Rose.
While Tideland is Faulknerian in its emphasis on the insanity of life and death in the rural south, The Bottoms pays homage to the gothicism of Poe and Doyle.

 Tideland: Terry Gilliam rules TIFF
Like Alice (and Tideland makes glances in her direction too numerous to count), this film essentially obeys none of the traditional rules of storytelling.
Tideland is horrible and wonderful and beautiful and upsetting and just so very unsettling.
It tells of a young girl with the impossibly beautiful name of Jeliza-Rose, who is played by an impossibly beautiful young actress named Jodelle Ferland, with such complete ownership that, frankly, I never want to see Ferland appear in another movie for as long as she lives.

 Tideland - WikiCG   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
In the great tradition of child fantasy stories such as "The Wizard of Oz" and "Alice and Wonderland," Terry Gilliam takes us on a wild adventure with his adaptation of Mitch Cullin's cult classic novel.
This is a fantasy world to rival all others; here fireflies have names, bog-men awaken at dusk, monster sharks swim down railroad tracks, and disembodied Barbie heads share in her adventures.
"Tideland" is as optimistic as it is surreal, as humourous as it is suspenseful - a celebration of the power of a child's imagination.

 CTV.ca Toronto Film Festival 2005
Visually, that is indeed an apt comparison, conjuring as the film does its unassuming house of horror nestled in the swaying sheaves of the Saskatchewan prairies.
Whatever the audience's interpretation of Tideland, there is no question Ferland carries the film with a performance well beyond her years.
In person, however, many of the assembled scribes are clearly disappointed when she turns out to be a regular, shy little girl.

 From Grimm's to Alice, Gilliam moves on to wonders of `Tideland'
"Tideland" is a profoundly unnerving twist on Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and its follow-up "Through the Looking Glass." Gilliam spins an alternately blissful and hellish story of a girl in denial of reality, who concocts a rich make-believe world to escape an unbearable upbringing.
"Tideland" is packed with the sort of surreal imagery characterizing such Gilliam films as "Brazil," "Time Bandits" and "Twelve Monkeys." Gilliam liberally applies the "Alice in Wonderland" references, including a tumble down a rabbit hole and a fanciful meal reminiscent of the Mad Hatter's tea party.
On "Tideland," which was at the Toronto festival in search of a distributor, Gilliam said he had a charmed production that came together quickly and flowed effortlessly, with no meddling by his British and Canadian financers.

 trailer for Gilliam's Tideland
Fri, Nov 18 2005 8:32 PM I think Brothers Grimm was his worse movie, it has a lot of problems, probably because the producers had too much control over the project, even though Terry Gilliam still defends the film, I think his defense is sort of flaky and insincer.
Fri, Nov 18 2005 8:53 PM well, Gilliam's main theme in his movies has been the blurring of fantasy and reality, which continues in Tideland.
The person who financed Tideland has hopes of buying the distribution rights to The Man Who Killed Don Quixote.

It is this willingness to push his material to the extreme edge that makes him a true original.
Shot in Saskatchewan, Tideland sees the director reunited with Jeff Bridges in a delirious, hallucinatory tale set against the wheat fields and big sky of the Prairies.
But the centre of the film is Jeliza-Rose (Jodelle Ferland), a spry, endlessly curious girl who is apparently unfazed by anything - including jamming needles into her junkie parents' arms.

 Tideland   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Other than the wide-open spaces of rural Saskatchewan, "Tideland" -- a misconceived washout of a darkly Gothic story of madness, addiction and child abuse -- has little to offer.
A Canada-U.K. co-production that premiered at the Toronto film festival, "Tideland" is a misconceived washout of a darkly gothic story of madness, addiction and child abuse made all the more unpleasant by Gilliam's trademark intense visual style.
Adapted by Gilliam and Tony Grisoni ("Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas") from the novel by Mitch Cullin, "Tideland" is related through the eyes of Jeliza-Rose (Jodelle Ferland), a precocious child whose household chores include preparing the needles for her junkie parents' (Jeff Bridges and Jennifer Tilly) fixes.

By Cullin's own admission, Whompyjawed is a more accurate reflection of West Texas while Branches "is kind of, maybe to a fault," he says, "what other people who haven't really been there might think it's like." Hollywood producer William Finnegan (Northern Exposure) paid $25,000 to option Branches.
And now Cullin's new novel Tideland is almost entirely about the imagination of a lonely young girl deserted, for all practical purposes, at a farmhouse north of Salado.
