Jeliza-Rose is a young child in a very unusual situation - both her parents are junkies. When her mother dies, she embarks on a strange journey with her father, Noah, a rock'n'roll musician well past his time.The film drifts between reality and fantasy as Jeliza-Rose escapes the vast loneliness of her new home into the fantasy world that exists in her imagination. In this world fireflies have names, bog-men awaken at dusk, and squirrels talk. The heads of four dolls, long since separated from their bodies, keep her company: Mystique, Baby Blonde, Glitter Gal and Sateen Lips, until she meets Dickens, a mentally damaged young man with the mind of a ten-year old.

Trailer
After Jeliza-Rose's mother dies of an overdose she must fend for herself while caring for her addict father by creating a fantasy world that she can escape to.-
Tideland is simply magnificent. It's bleak and creepy, but at the same time charming, wide-eyed and visionary, everything you'd expect from Terry Gilliam.
Keith Dudhnath, Eye For Film -
It takes some time getting used to Gilliam's unique direction (that of a madcap Terrence Mallick) and the strange plot, but once it settles down, Gilliam can take you places where you've never been before.
Gavin Burke, Entertainment.ie -
This diseased companion piece to The Fisher King occasionally drags and often disturbs, but somehow, it’s never less than compelling.
Tara Brady, Hot Press
This is quite a disturbing film, but really does make one think about how twisted the human mind can become. Although I don't feel that the acting was up to par, the general story was enough to keep me gripped until the end, wanting to know how this story with so many tributaries could stream back into the one ocean.
