If not a great movie, it's just good enough to make me curious to see what the filmmaker has up his sleeve next. More importantly, it helps make his thoughtfully meditative debut worthy of a look.

Rated: 2.5/4

Variety

Kevin McMullin channels the feel of Stephen King's 'Stand by Me,' along with various noir-toned '80s films, in this coming-of-age thriller.

Without the strong filmmaking behind it, the film would be nowhere near as engaging as it is.

Low Tide is a crime thriller, but the movie is also a compelling look at how these boys make decisions that will have a profound effect on the type the men that they will become.

It's a film that doesn't overstay its welcome but never really announces itself either.

Low Tide is not an entirely forgettable experience. The movie's visual style, and performances from Keean Johnson and Shea Whigham, offer fleeting glimpses of promise. However, it ultimately fails to capitalize on that same potential, succumbing to a derivative plot and uninspired character decisions. A deep cut in the A24 catalog worth seeing for fans of the studio. Full review: https://cinephilecorner.com/reviews/low-tide-movie-2019/

It was an engaging film with drama and a decent plot. It was a little predictable but still worth the watch.

What a fantastic debut thriller/drama from McMullin, can't wait to see what's next in his repertoire. Kinda half coming of age teen flick but mostly paranoid thievery friend thriller, really good!
