I don't think it actually made it to the theatres here in the US. Is it animated? What is the plot?
Tideland is a macabre, darkly surreal film about an abandoned child named Jeliza-Rose (Jodelle Ferland). The story centers on Jeliza-Rose's solitary adventures during one summer in rural Texas while staying at a rundown farmhouse called What Rocks, and focuses on the increasingly dark, imaginative fantasy life the girl creates with the aid of dismembered Barbie doll heads that she often wears on her fingertips. With names such as Mystic, Satin Lips and Glitter Girl, the doll heads not only engage in long conversations with Jeliza-Rose, reflecting different aspects of the girl's psyche, but also act as her companions while she explores the barren Texas landscape.
Before arriving in Texas, Jeliza-Rose's mother (Jennifer Tilly) dies from a drug overdose. Thereafter, her junkie, washed-out rocker musician father Noah (Jeff Bridges) flees with Jeliza-Rose to a remote Texas farmhouse where he soon follows his deceased wife by overdosing. For much of the rest of the film, Noah's corpse remains seated upright in a living room chair with sunglasses covering his eyes. As her father slowly begins to rot, Jeliza-Rose doesn't readily acknowledge his death because she has grown accustomed to him being unconscious for long periods at a time. Instead, she retreats deeper and deeper into her own mind, exploring the tall grass around the farmhouse, relying on her doll heads for friendship as an unconscious way of keeping herself from feeling too lonely and afraid.

Our friend Mr. Morris has begun the downward spiral into a very dark abyss. It's a flat spin that there is not much hope of recovering from. We need to band together and help him.
