How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sweeping family drama that follows a year of devastating spirals and hard-won reconciliation across multiple perspectives. Waves feels like watching something sacred fracture and slowly, painfully come back together.
