Waves charts the turbulent emotional journey of the Williams family a seemingly stable suburban household in Florida. Tyler Williams (Kelvin Harrison Jr.), a talented high-school wrestler with big dreams, suffers a career-ending shoulder injury. Under the weight of his father Ronald’s (Sterling K. Brown) relentless expectations and his own fears, Tyler spirals into drug abuse, secrecy, and self-destruction. The film’s second half shifts focus to his sister Emily (Taylor Russell), navigating trauma, heartbreak, and the aftermath of tragedy as the family grapples with guilt, grief, and the long path toward forgiveness. Director Trey Edward Shults uses striking cinematography, a gripping soundtrack, and deep character work to depict love, loss, redemption, and the bonds that survive even the darkest storms.
