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.

...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.

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

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

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

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

...er fortælling gennem sindsstemninger per excellence.

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.

...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
