Waves is a 2019 drama film written and directed by Trey Edward Shults (Krisha, It Comes at Night), released by A24 on November 15, 2019 after premiering at the Telluride Film Festival on August 30 of that year. The film stars Kelvin Harrison Jr., Sterling K. Brown, Taylor Russell, Lucas Hedges, Renee Elise Goldsberry and Alexa Demie.The film tells the emotional journey of the Williams family — a suburban family in South Florida comprised of well-intentioned but domineering patriarch Ronald (Brown), his children Tyler (Harrison Jr.) and Emily (Russell), and their stepmother Catherine (Goldsberry) — as they navigate love, forgiveness and coming together in the aftermath of extreme loss and tragedy.One of the film's most notable selling points is its eclectic soundtrack, containing some of the most popular names of the time's hip-hop, R&B, alternative and pop scenes, such as Radiohead, Frank Ocean, Animal Collective, Tame Impala, Kid Cudi, Kanye West and SZA — and requiring immense work to secure rights to the music. The film additionally received an original score composed by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross. | |

Parental Substitute | |
| Waves / int_3f11ef74 | comment |
Parental Substitute: Catherine is Emily and Tyler's stepmother technically, but is the only mom Emily's really ever known, serving as a good one to both of them. When Tyler angrily yells that Catherine's not his real mom, she's very hurt and Ronald is outraged. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| Waves / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: After Alexis breaks up with Tyler, he makes a mess of his room, throws his father to the floor, stalks Alexis at a house party, and eventually knocks her dead. Tyler is sentenced to life, having a possibility of parole after thirty years, for what was probably involuntary manslaughter from what's seen (which might get you five to ten years at most usually), even despite having a plea deal. It's probable the prosecution felt they could prove premeditation given the angry texts he sent to Alexis before, and so this was likely bargained down from life without parole for first degree murder. | |

Good Girls Avoid Abortion | |
| Waves / int_8387bb18 | comment |
Good Girls Avoid Abortion: Tyler takes Alexis to have an abortion when he gets her pregnant. After they leave the clinic, she tells him she decided against it, which enrages Tyler. He tries persuading her otherwise, saying that high school seniors shouldn't be worrying about raising a child, which frustrates her greatly as she believes he's refusing to see her perspective on the situation. The fallout from this ultimately leads to her accidental death. | |

Jump Scare: After Tyler knocks Alexis to the floor, the moment is completely quiet, and we only hear Tyler's stifled sobs as he cradles her body. Both him and the audience then get jolted by the loud, horrified scream of an unfortunate girl also at the party who happened to walk into the room. | |
