Brother's Grimm is a disaster of a film. Tideland...not seen it. To be fair once you've seen one Gilliam, you've seen them all, and it helps matters not that you have so many pretenders stealing his stylised vision of everything, Jean-Pierre Jeunet is practically un-watchable because of this.

So, has anyone seen Tideland? I just finished watching it.
Less than 30 minutes afterwards and I can't tell you what I thought of it. It's something I am going to have to think about a while. As I was watching it I thought of Roald Dahl stories. Like, if you mixed one aimed at kids with some of the stuff for grownups. But without the humorous irony, or whatever. Without that sense that even though something might seem uncomfortable in this scene, it was all going to work out in a way that it would make some sort of sense.
It might take a couple of days for me to work up to watching it with the commentary so I can see what in the heck the thought process was behind this.

There's a sort of disclaimer at the start where Terry Gilliam says that you need to forget everything you've learned as a grown-up and look at it through the child's eyes. I tried that. About 2/3 -3/4 through, though, it was too messed up. My inner child protective services worker took over.
