Waves

Set against the vibrant landscape of South Florida, and featuring an astonishing ensemble of award-winning actors and breakouts alike, Waves traces the epic emotional journey of a suburban African-American family—led by a well-intentioned but domineering father—as they navigate love, forgiveness and coming together in the aftermath of a loss. From acclaimed director Trey Edward Shults (Krisha, It Comes at Night), Waves is a heartrending story about the universal capacity for compassion and growth even in the darkest of times.

"Waves takes us on a real journey, leaving us breathless but also marvelling at the end."
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
"A deeper and more profound film than your average character drama, a masterpiece that's hard to walk away from without checking your own grievances and grief."
Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com
