Community Reviews
Viewers find 'Waves' a visually stunning and emotionally powerful film, marked by its strong performances and a compelling soundtrack. The narrative's split into two distinct parts offers a deep dive into family dynamics and personal tragedy, resonating with many for its portrayal of forgiveness and healing. While the film's aesthetic and emotional depth are praised, some found the first part slow and less engaging compared to the impactful second half.
👍 Split narrative enhances emotional impact.
👎 First half may feel slow to some.
