Changing Tides

Revisado: 10-31-21

'Changing Tides' tells the story of a father and daughter reconnecting over chasms of regrets and generational differences. The story takes place the summer that 16 year old Caddie Ransome is dropped off to live with her estranged father, Ben, a marine biologist living in Monterey. Ford's portrayal of Caddie manages to capture both her savvy to manipulate situations and her vulnerability -- her fear of rejection, her need for affection, attention and security. Ford's construction of Ben Ransome is equally honest. Socially awkward and minimally engaged with the world above water, Ben nevertheless persists in his attempt to understand the person who is his daughter, while navigating the awakening of his sexual desire for the intriguing Hudson Jones, who is in town to research the homoerotic tensions in Steinbeck's relationship with Ed Ricketts. It is an optimistic portrait of the power of honesty in interpersonal relationships, painted with a deep respect for the complexity of ordinary people.
