Get swept away.

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, Waves is a heartrending story about the universal capacity for compassion and growth even in the darkest of times.

[A] powerful artistic undertow that sucks viewers in and spits them out gasping.

All of Shults's stylistic brio and formal inventiveness is finally in the service of a story about love, its mutability and fragility.

A masterpiece that's hard to walk away from without checking your own grievances and grief.
