Making Waves

About This Movie

So, 'Making Waves' is this interesting little gem from '87. It's got this quaint seaside vibe, with a group of elderly women just trying to enjoy a vacation, but there's this quirky twist where one woman is fixated on her son's supposed brain tumor. The pacing can feel a bit off at times, but it adds to that offbeat charm. The performances have this raw, almost relatable quality, especially in how they navigate their relationships and fears. It’s a curious exploration of aging, worry, and the complexities of family dynamics, wrapped in a lighthearted atmosphere that’s both refreshing and a bit melancholy.

'Making Waves' isn’t widely known, which adds to its allure for collectors. It’s been released in limited formats and can sometimes be tricky to track down, especially in good condition.
