Between Waves

From the frozen north comes a low-budget indie with literal delusions of grandeur. Leaving aside for the moment the usual flurry of inevitable (and seemingly unavoidable) fake reviews, we will note with appreciation the memorable cinematography and the yeoman performance of Fiona Graham, who effectively builds a bridge with the audience and actually makes you care whether this hi-concept sci-fi melodrama ever takes flight and goes anywhere. On the other side of the ledger, we have the usual tropes associated with first-film efforts, including in this case a sound track so overbearing it will make you weep, and a main character (the missing husband, Issac, played by Luke Robinson) so unappealing you will subconsciously hope that he never returns from whatever parallel dimension he vanished into.

The movie was just awful, long, slow, boring. Characters I did not like, storyline was a mess, dialogue non-existent, struggling to find something appealing about it but there is truly nothing. I kept watching, hoping for some explanation. Give it a miss.

I really enjoyed the underwater scenes and the drone footage. Amazing colors as well. Thought both leads gave strong performances. Glad this film is getting the recognition it deserves on the festival circuit.

Beautiful movie. Love underwater scene, directing, cinematography and colours. Writers manage to create clear and captivating plot.

Virginia Abramovich's feature length directorial debut offers a compelling and suspenseful story. You don't have to be a sci-fi fan to enjoy this film (but if you are, you will). The cinematography is stunning. Highly recommend!
