Trey Edward Shults
We spoke with director & cast of Waves after its UK release: Trey Edward Shults, Sterling K. Brown, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Kelvin Harrison Jr. and Taylor Russell.
Like the pulse of life, in Waves, there are times to laugh, to cry, to mourn, to smile and to hope. And the biggest weapon we wield is the capacity to forgive and persevere.
Waves traces the journey of a suburban African-American family as they navigate love, forgiveness, and coming together in the aftermath of a loss.
The first week of the 55th Chicago International Film Festival has come to a close, so let’s take time to recap some of the films that screened during this week.
Our first dispatch from Film Fest 919 includes reviews of Brazil’s genre-bending Oscar entry, Trey Edward Shults’ emotional epic, and Ken Loach’s latest social drama.
Waves is an exquisitely crafted piece of art that solidifies Shults as a force to be reckoned with.
It Comes at Night advertises itself as horror, but is in actuality a more atmospheric, spine-tingling thriller; here’s why this was an issue.
It Comes at Night is a disturbingly effective horror film, delving into themes of paranoia, fear, and distrust in an eerily relevant way.
The opening of Trey Edward Shults’ Krisha is intense. A few seconds in, we are staring eye to eye with Krisha, the titular character (Krisha Fairchild). She is looking at us, and we are looking right back.
