You know how child abuse permanently messes kids up? Terry Gilliam made a charming movie about that.
We are supposed to believe the victim is coping successfully with obscene circumstances through the power of innocence and imagination, but I felt like the circumstances depicted in this movie are like watching a 20 car pile up on the highway.
It's a train-wreck from beginning to end, not the movie itself, but what the child protagonist goes through.
Watching Tideland is like watching a building burn down with people trapped inside when there's nothing you can do about it.
I'm surprised the actress who played the lead role isn't scarred for life.
