Namrata Joshi The New Indian Express As past, present and future collide, much of Caught by the Tides might seem like what we have already seen in Zhangke's enviable body of work. Yet it has a freshness and power that is uniquely its own. Sep 24, 2024 Full Review William Repass Slant Magazine Jia Zhang-ke’s Caught by the Tides attests to the fact that making art under the most adverse conditions can prove to be serendipitous. Rated: 3/4 Sep 20, 2024 Full Review Steve Pond TheWrap You could call it a movie about connection, but one fashioned out of shots of isolation. Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Filipe Freitas Always Good Movies There’s an indestructible link between past, present, and future in the film that makes us experience time and place in a peculiar, nostalgic way. Rated: 4/5 Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Will Bjarnar InSession Film Jia Zhangke’s Caught by the Tides is the one that manages to weave a narrative that remains as mesmerizing as it is unconventionally-masterful. Rated: B+ Oct 23, 2024 Full Review Daniel Allen Loud and Clear Reviews Caught By The Tides is always an interesting watch, but mainly as an exercise in form and showing an evolving China. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 22, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
