Reviews reveal that 'The Wave' is a compelling psychological thriller that effectively demonstrates the ease with which authoritarianism can take root. Viewers appreciated the intense and thought-provoking portrayal of a classroom experiment gone wrong, highlighting the transformation of students into a dictatorial regime. While the film's concept and the main performance were praised, some felt it lacked depth in character development and the rapid progression towards extremism seemed unrealistic to a few.
👍 Effectively demonstrates the dangers of authoritarianism.
👎 Some character developments may feel rushed.

Film très fort, on rentre dedans tout de suite, on s’attache aux personnages et on a presque envie de vivre cette histoire avec eux..un peu différent du livre et de la réelle histoire mais fait réfléchir.

Fin un peu abrupte

Noté 8/10 par Thomas Serot
Film qui relate l'expérience d'un professeur à créer un régime autoritaire dans une classe de lycée. Les élèves se prennent trop au jeu... Très intéressant de voir les facteurs permettant la création d'un régime autoritaire dans un pays. Chaque élève représente un type de population et leur comportement. La fin est vraiment scotchante.
Intéressant. Il fait réfléchir
