Waves reminded me of Richard Linklater's Before Trilogy (Before Sunrise - 1995, Before Sunset - 2004, and Before Midnight - 2013) - a look at modern love with flair for naturalism. It is an eavesdropping on the intimate conversations of Ross and Sofia who both plunged into love by taking impulsive detours and catching chancy tides, which unwittingly brought them to their feet at the shore. It swells with an unspoken confusion that rippled from the characters, especially that of Baron Geisler's - in his stellar performance in years. His persuasive and empathic facial sobriety kept the movie alive.
