Turning Tides

About This Movie

Turning Tides presents a haunting exploration of grief and the lengths one might go to alleviate it. Hiroe, a former delinquent, embodies a rawness that is both endearing and tragic. The pacing feels deliberately sluggish, echoing the weight of sorrow that hangs over the characters. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating, yet there's a strange beauty in the absurdity of her attempts to fake a resurrection for Tatsutoshi’s sister. The performances, particularly that of Hiroe, have a gritty authenticity that resonates. It’s distinct in its quirky take on the supernatural, blending realism with a tinge of the surreal. If you're into films that dwell in dark waters and examine the human condition, this one's worth a look.

Atmospheric exploration of grief.Unique blend of realism and surrealism.Character-driven narrative with a slow burn.
