WAVES This was a hell of a film. You could tell that *Director* Trey Edward Shults goes all out on the set and in the editing room. There is just so much fury in tandem with innocence that's conveyed on the screen and it makes you realize just how much your actions can have an affect on the rest of your life and the people around you. There are a few aspect ratio changes that are in the film, and they work surprisingly well. Each decision to change to the next aspect ratio felt fitting to the story, which I guess is also helped by the cinematography. And speaking of the cinematography, if this doesn't get an Oscar nomination for best cinematography, the Academy must actually be stupid. Also, the title of the film is something that I kept on thinking about throughout the runtime because for some reason it fits so perfectly with what the film is going for.

So happy that I own this movie now. This was one of my favourite films of 2019. This is a fantastic movie and I can’t recommend it enough.

This is a genuinely great movie. A24 just keeps churning out movies that are both life afriming. It tells a very poignant tale of a family in crisis. It stars Strerling K Brown and Kelvin Harrison Jr.

The way this movie is filmed is remarkable!! It’s a movie with not much dialogue but the filming and music makes up for everything!!

While not for everyone, this film is a powerful and potent mediation on forgiveness and family for those who are willing to watch it.
