Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"THE WAVE adds credible writing and effective acting to gangbusters special effects, resulting in a white-knuckle experience a bit higher on the plausibility scale than what we're used to from Hollywood versions of the genre." - 03/04/2016 Los Angeles Times
3 stars out of 4 -- "[T]he more the movie leans into its claustrophobic, POSEIDON ADVENTURE-ish survival story in its last act, the more effective the film becomes..." - 03/04/2016 Rolling Stone
3 stars out of 5 -- "Roar Uthaug knows how to manipulate an audience." - 03/04/2016 The Guardian
