HAAFF: Waves

  • Honolulu Museum of Art 900 South Beretania Street Honolulu, HI, 96814 United States (map)

Directed by Trey Edward Shults. USA. 2019. 135 min.

Part of the Honolulu African American Film Festival 2020

Set against the vibrant landscape of South Florida, and featuring an astonishing ensemble of award-winning actors and breakouts alike (including Kelvin Harrison Jr., Lucas Hedges, Taylor Russell, Alexa Demie, Renée Elise Goldsberry, and Sterling K. Brown), Waves traces the epic emotional journey of a suburban African-American family—led by a well-intentioned but domineering father—as they navigate love, forgiveness and coming together in the aftermath of a loss. From acclaimed director Trey Edward Shults, Waves is a heartrending story about the universal capacity for compassion and growth even in the darkest of times.
