High Tide Submerges the Point

Reviews
Written By Zach Youngs

Loneliness and heartbreak go hand in hand. We try to stave off heartbreak by solving the problem of loneliness. Not being alone never solves loneliness, of course, but we fail to realize that at the time and often leads to more heartache.

That is where we meet Lourenço (Marco Pigossi) at the beginning of the film High Tide. His mood is sedate and atmospheric with the specter of Lourenço's ex-boyfriend hanging over his head. It's the end of summer and the beaches are clear, enter Maurice (James Bland) the balm on Lourenço's fresh wound.
