We Were Waves Once is an interesting blend of comedy and drama that dives deep into the quiet chaos of Cocteau's life. Isolated in her flat, she navigates the murky waters of writer's block, which is a struggle many can relate to. The atmosphere is a mix of loneliness with a hint of warmth that bubbles up when she meets Alicia, her vibrant neighbor. Alicia brings a chaotic energy that contrasts sharply with Cocteau's introspective existence. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing us to soak in the subtleties of their interactions. It's not flashy, but there's something grounding about the performances; they feel genuine, almost like a glimpse into real lives, which is what makes this film stand out in a sea of cinematic noise.
