Variety

A scattered but intimate drama. Pigossi delivers a stunning performance that practically heat-welds together the film’s disparate parts, making it feel whole despite the flaws in its construction.

David Rooney

Hollywood Reporter

A haunting lead performance from Marco Pigossi, steeped in melancholy and raw pain but also in moments of openness, optimism and even joy, helps make High Tide an affecting portrait of untethered gay men seeking meaningful connections.

Cinemalogue

A quietly powerful saga of longing and belonging, this character-driven drama thoughtfully examines the queer immigrant experience with nuanced tenderness.

Nora Lee Mandel

Maven's Nest

The beautiful but predatory ocean around gay Provincetown can be navigated by love. Amidst stereotypes or satires, several fully-rounded characters are appealing. DP Oscar Ignacio Jimeñez captures gorgeous sunsets and moon rises, and ocean freedom.

Rated: 7/10

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

Just as importantly, it finds an understated resonance in every small detail, from shots of a face shifting in emotion to a figure being left behind in the distance.
