This is a good showing for Lautner. In a film that is thoughtful without being groundbreaking, Lautner is suitable without being showy.

There's more ebb than flow in this formulaic indie drama.

Mehta overplays the significance of virtually every aspect of Rajiv Shah's script, no matter how minor, with painfully slow pans and needlessly lingering establishing shots.

All of these performances are subjugated to a meandering story with very little idea what it wants to do with them.

Run the Tide never elevates itself beyond the most rote aspects of its story.

Run the Tide is best as a Lifetime movie special of the week. One that falls emotionally flat.

Extraordinary novelty: a film about a dysfunctional family. The 4 protagonists act to act. Unwatchable. (Mauro Lanari)

Don't rely on the critics for this one. It's not a bad movie at all. Sometimes the acting was bland, but the overall feel and story was pretty good.

You know there's a problem when the child actor is better than your lead.
