Waves - Reviews

As if the dazzling performances and audaciously intertwined storylines weren’t enough, 'Waves' is a visual stunner, too...

...an empathetic commentary on the interconnectivity of human nature-a film filled with great, almost unimaginable pain, but also incredible beauty.

...sensuous and vibrant, a film where everything is heightened with magic mushroom clarity.

...a powerful drama from writer/director Trey Edward Shults in which the tragic events of one seismic day forever change the lives of one middle-class Florida family.

There are big scenes, big performances, big emotions here...

Showy and ambitious, desperately sincere and self-absorbed, and bursting at the seams with potential, Waves isn’t merely a film about teenagers, it’s virtually a teenager in film form. It’s also the kind of cinema that keeps you young.

...an impactful film about a family, but it's not just for parents...

...is getting people talking, and causing spirited debate among film fiends, and that’s precisely what great art is all about.

...a fresh and bold and immensely effective choice.

...grows into a film you can’t stop thinking about. It comes on strong, and ends with a whimper, a composed stillness that envelopes you.

Waves, for all the heartbreak, all the sound and fury, is a love story, hopeful despite hurt

... bjuder på prakt och ömhet så det räcker och blir över.

...er fortælling gennem sindsstemninger per excellence.

Trey Edward Shults berättar visuellt spännande och Trent Reznors och Atticus Ross musik skaver på ett intressant sätt.
