Waves (2019)
tried too hard being sentimental and hysterical.
I didn't think the movie was bad, but i want to write down why I can't give it more than a 6.
The story didn't feel cohesive. I still don't understand the purpose of the deathbed arc. It feels like they ditched out on the first half of the story, leaving it unfinished. The overall plot also felt simple without much depth and complexity.
The acting was great, the facial expressions were great. However the screenplay would often be overshadowed by the 'background' music. It felt like i was forced to listen to some artsy dude's Spotify playlist. At one point i even had to mute the sound because it was so disconnecting to the story. It also feels like the director and screenwriters used the music as a quick-fix to do their work for them.
The movie tried hard to evoke emotional feelings from the viewer, but would often fail. The storyline didn't have a real direction and didn't manage to develop any real connection with the characters. Come 3/4 of the movie I was just waiting for it to finish.
