How did I miss this movie?



Terry Gilliam is one of my favorite directors, so how come I totally missed his last movie "Tideland"? According to an interview with Mr. Gilliam on NPR this morning, it might have to do with the bad reviews it got resulting in a short run. Or with the fact that the portrayal of the relation between the little girl and her heroin addict father in this movie is not as cute as "Little Miss Sunshine". Now that is released on DVD, I will put "Tideland" high on my "to see" list!


And now I should finally remember how to pronounce his name properly

read about it some time ago, isn´t it the movie where the little girl takes care of her dad, and she is `lost in her fantasy´ a lot of time? Read in the article that is was no fun but very good..... strange critic maybe...

I'm wondering if it was maybe not released in the States. Lets see...

Nope, it was released according to the IMDB, but limited.

And yes, she flees into a fantasy world. In the interview Terry Gilliam said he finally found the child within him. Turned out to be a girl.
