Review of Low Tide

Low Tide (2019)
7/10

Jaden again... In this day and age film lovers worship A24 as the gods of film (for good reason). Everyone and their mother has heard of Lady Bird and Call Me By Your Name. While these are great films they are far from "underground". Low Tide is somewhat of a hidden gem in the A24 collection, that is often overlooked.

Low tide is about a young boy who is taken in by is brother and his criminal friends to rob tourist's beach houses. In the last decade there haven't been any films released that capture the treasure hunting spirit of the Goonies. Low Tide is a coming of age movie that isn't rubbing it in your face. The "coming of age feeling" didn't hit me until the credits rolled, as a genuine coming of age film should. The movie captures a real feeling that isn't polished up and romanticized like many films like it.

I would absolutely recommend Low Tide to anyone looking for a coming of age adventure.
