#Into the waves trailer movie#
I viewed this movie in an IMAX theater, as this seemed to be the only theater available for this pop-up screener, the film itself was clearly not made for an IMAX presentation all I can say is, I am thankful I was sitting in the last row. The opening of the shot of the film is of a pack of high schoolers driving in a car, the camera is swirling in a 360 motion, which gives off this extremely manic tone right off the bat. In the first half of the film, the director focuses on the story of the teenage son, Tyler played excellently by Kelvin Harrison (Mudbound, 12 Years a Slave and It Comes at Night). Instead when an error judgment is made there are some individuals that will spend their entire life in the shadows of their blunders. However, I feel it is also trying to show that for some of us there is no room for mistakes. The movie essentially tells the story of a well-off suburban African-American family of four and how each of them processes a traumatic situation. It has a lot to say, specifically in regards to how we view others and the lives that we affect when we make the choices that we do. It is one of those movies that I left feeling like I was punched in the gut. The two hour and fifteen minute flick is essentially, two movies that the writer/director manages to have co-exist seamlessly into one. I recommend that viewers do the same for this one, as it may be best to avoid any spoilery plot details to experience the same powerful impact that it had on me. By not watching the trailer or reading the logline on IMDb, I was not prepared for the emotional roller coaster that I would be taken on. There was so much chatter about this flick that they made an additional screening available, which is how I was fortunate enough to see it. So many movies so little time.) and the buzz it generated from the fest. I saw Trey Edward Shults’, Waves at the Toronto Film Festival based solely on the director’s previous work, It Comes at Night (I still need to watch Krisha, I KNOW! but cut me some slack guys.
