Making Waves explores the nuanced relationship between Cella and her aging mother Johanna, diving into themes of generational conflict and self-discovery. The film has this almost intimate atmosphere, capturing those quiet yet impactful moments shared between them. Cella’s life seems polished on the surface – her job, her children, her newfound independence – but the film doesn't shy away from the complexities of motherhood and the bittersweet nature of growing older. The pacing is contemplative, with scenes that allow you to linger in the characters' emotions, giving space for reflection. The performances, especially by Kitty Courbois as Johanna, really ground the film, making you feel the weight of time and the unspoken bond between them. It’s a character-driven narrative that resonates quietly.
