Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe script Trey Edward Shults sent to Sterling K. Brown was a PDF with embedded music cues, varying font sizes and colors, and notes about aspect ratio changes.
- GoofsWhen Ronald is with his daughter Emily by the lake fishing, there is a sound of a plane overhead and Emily looks up at the sky through a gap in the tree canopy's and there's a plane in the sky, the problem is it is moving too slowly in relation to its size suggesting it is closer to the ground and therefore should be seen to be moving a little quicker. They obviously used CGI but should have got a better handle on this perspective .

Featured review
A Devastating Work of Art with Glimmers of Truth and Hope
After my wife and I walked out of the movie theater, completely devastated (in the best possible ways) by what we had seen, there was a group of teenagers (the perfect audience for this film) buying tickets and I couldn't help but think about how lucky they were to be seeing Waves. It's the type of film that if one sees it in their youth, it could change how you view movies, art...life.
I will say nothing more about Waves except it is an absolute must-see, and if it finds its audience, it has the chance to be a generational touchstone film.
