"McMullin is one of those scrappy discoveries who shows an immediate command of film grammar. Low Tide is made with such economy and skill...rigorously entertaining."

-Jesse Hassenger (AV Club)

"A confident debut. Low Tide is filled with small decisions that work. McMullin has a subtle, clever touch."

-Brian Tallerico (RogerEbert.com)

"Such a solid, character-driven vessel...McMullin channels the feel of Stephen King's 'Stand by Me', along with various noir-toned '80s films, in this coming-of-age thriller."

-Peter Debruge (Variety)

"Has a decidedly early Spielberg vibe to it and could land McMullin gigs accordingly."

-Steven Zeitchik (Washington Post)

"Displays a piercing awareness of the tensions that drive the dynamics of adolescent outsiders... McMullin’s poetic script has an uncanny grasp of the unspoken."

-Chuck Bowen (Slant Magazine)

"Quietly observed...packs a genuine depth."

-Michael Rechtshaffen (Los Angeles Times)

"A sharp coming-of-age crime saga that hardens 'The Goonies' with the kind of salt-of-the-earth survivalism that bled through 'The Treasure of the Sierra Madre'... A very promising debut.”

-David Ehrlich (Indiewire)
