Awards
- 14 wins & 40 nominations

Trivia
The script Trey Edward Shults sent to Sterling K. Brown was a PDF with embedded music cues, varying font sizes and colors, and notes about aspect ratio changes.

Goofs
When Ronald is with his daughter Emily by the lake fishing, there is a sound of a plane overhead and Emily looks up at the sky through a gap in the tree canopy's and there's a plane in the sky, the problem is it is moving too slowly in relation to its size suggesting it is closer to the ground and therefore should be seen to be moving a little quicker. They obviously used CGI but should have got a better handle on this perspective .

Quotes
Ronald: You have so much love to share with the world and so much life yet to live.

Waves of Emotions...Mostly Sad

Upon finally completing this ordeal, I was literally depressed. I have so much to say about Waves, but can't seem to find the words. So, I'll just say it was spectacularly acted, written, and directed. Shults was clearly inspired by the style of Malick, whom he's worked with on a number of occasions, but unlike Malick, he knows how to make his art entertaining. The only reason I gave this film a chance was that it had Lucas Hedges in it and he's yet to be in a bad picture, so I figured what the heck. Boy am I glad I gave it a shot, great film, better than I could've hoped for...highly recommended.
