Tideland

2005 · TMDB 6.5

Directed by Terry Gilliam

Because of the actions of her irresponsible parents, a young girl is left alone on a decrepit country estate and survives inside her fantastic imagination.

Why it matters

A young girl, Jeliza-Rose, retreats into a fantasy world populated by doll heads and ghostly voices to cope with her father's overdose and the isolation of a decaying farmhouse. Gilliam's film is a fever dream of resilience and horror, where imagination is the only lifeline.
