Family takes a toll in the latest trailer for Waves, A24's buzzy festival favorite

Waves, the third feature from rising filmmaker Trey Edward Shults (Krisha, It Comes At Night), has been turning heads since it played at festivals in both Telluride and Toronto earlier this year, with critics lavishing praise on Shults’ visually sumptuous, emotionally devastating story of a suburban family in Southern Florida. The A.V. Club’s A.A. Dowd was more measured in his take, calling the film a “sensory-overload epic of adolescence” that, in the end, resonated as a “a bitching soundtrack in search of a movie.” Granted, the soundtrack does sound pretty great, with cuts from Kendrick Lamar, Animal Collective, and Frank Ocean joining an ambient score from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.
