Drama in which four middle-aged men go on a canal journey around southern England.
While Tides may not make for the most obviously dramatic of films, its portrayal of the realities of long-term friendship is charmingly authentic.
It’s a gentle, charming study of loneliness.
An unapologetically genuine portrait of companionship that boldly abandons cinematic convention.
This is made with skill and thought, but this kind of character piece needs to wield a microscope, not peer down reversed binoculars: otherwise why bother? You will, however, find yourself Googling canal boat holidays.
General release. Check local listings for show times.
