Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Seductive and horrifying at the same time...The film opens with a rush of energy and doesn't let up.

fresh:
Still, the quicksilver editing and thumping score mean it's zippily put together, and an undeniable willingness to engage with a youthful audience is admirably inclusive.

rotten:
"The Wave" feels overdetermined and ploddingly dramatized.
