Waves

“The artistic evolution [director Trey Edward] Shults is undergoing makes him as exciting as anyone at work—he's as sharp as the young Darren Aronofsky, and his heart is only growing larger.” Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out. 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.
