Beautifully made film about brother & sister dealing with pain
Waves is about a middle class African American family in Florida. The movie focuses upon Tyler (Kelvin Harrison Jr.) and Emily (Taylor Russell) the two kids in the family. Tyler is a high school wrestler with a girlfriend named Alexis (Alexa Demie). His dad (Sterling K. Brown) is very demanding always pushing him to work out, to be a better wrestler, to do better in school. Emily is the quiet and shy one in the family. She comes into her own in the second half of the film. The story is about how the family deals with pain.<br /><br />The story begins with how everything seems normal for Tyler. The problems start when Tyler hides how bad his shoulder is hurt from everyone and Alexis gets pregnant. He’s afraid of what will happen to his dreams and what his father will think. Then things quickly start spinning out of control. He doesn’t know how to deal with his problems and makes things worse. Like a lot of young people he can’t deal with his feelings and frustrations. His story is the first half of Waves.<br /><br />The second part is all about Emily. She’s guilt ridden over Tyler and withdraws from everyone. She meets an awkward boy named Luke (Lucas Hedges) and they start dating. He brings her out of her shell and allows her to live again. It’s the love she finds and receives from Luke that transforms her.<br /><br />The contrast between the siblings draws a sharp comparison in the two halves of the movie. Not only are their personalities exact opposites but so are the moods of the two parts. The cinematography also changes with Tyler’s half using dark hues and Emily’s being much brighter.<br /><br />The movie is beautifully shot. The color contrasts and angles really stand out. It goes with this very moody and emotional film.<br />C
