Synopsis
Welcome to the world of Jeliza-Rose, the young heroine and narrator of Tideland. What has brought Jeliza-Rose from Los Angeles to a rural Texan farmhouse? And why is her former rockabilly guitarist father not talking to her anymore? And who is making all that noise in the attic? Jeliza-Rose drifts from the harsh reality of her childhood and escapes into the fantasies of her own active imagination. This is a fantasy world to rival all others; here fireflies have names, bog-men awaken at dusk, monster sharks swim down railroad tracks, and disembodied Barbie heads share her adventures.

Critics' reviews
- "Becomes an excruciating exercise in gothic excess and progressively more disgusting imagery."
- "It's crazy, dangerous and sometimes gorgeous: a feast of nuttiness that takes you, for a while, over the edge."
- "A misconceived washout of a darkly gothic story of madness, addiction and child abuse made all the more unpleasant by Gilliam's trademark intense visual style."
