By Bob Bloom “Waves” is a poignant movie that follows the ebb and flow of an upper middle-class black family as they face turbulence, tragedy and, finally, a sense of acceptance. The film, directed by Trey Edwards Shults (“It Comes at Night”), can be seen as two movies in one. The first centers on loss, anger, desperation, turmoil and despair, while the second deals with forgiveness, compassion and love.
