Above and Below the Waves

About This Movie

Above and Below the Waves is an intriguing blend of drama and sci-fi. It follows Margo, who’s navigating the aftermath of a breakup while rediscovering her long-buried ability to teleport. The film carries a unique tone, mixing a sense of melancholy with a hint of magical realism. The pacing is quite contemplative, allowing moments of introspection to resonate. The practical effects used for the teleportation sequences are refreshingly grounded, standing out amidst a sea of CGI. Performances are solid, particularly the lead, who captures the emotional turbulence of her character. It feels like it’s speaking to those who’ve experienced personal loss and the struggle to find oneself again, which is what makes it distinct.
