Diagonaldi Very well executed

Dotbankey A lot of fun.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

vanessakoors I watched this film a couple days ago and can't stop thinking about it. I generally like movies about altered states and know many people might not. At times the film feels literally timeless, evoking a complex ambiguity that must rest somewhere on the spectrum of grief (I think about 'the year of magical thinking' by Joan Didion). It's perfectly beautiful despite being awkward and stilted at times. The story is mildly confusing or maybe not - I don't know! But the sisters opposing points of view held my interest and plot holes seemed beside the point. The natural and sincere performances are gilded by a stylized world –it's almost like someone's saying death doesn't exist, which in some ways is more terrifying than death itself. Also: Chloe Sevigny has a daughter in the film that eerily looks like her, Luke Grimes is fun to look at and I loved loved seeing Jena Malone give it to her ex over the phone.

howardsavids I first heard about 'The Wait' from a friend of mine. He recommended it to me on the basis of my interest in the work of David Lynch, and also because he knows that I'd lived in the Pacific Northwest for a little while. The first time I watched the film, I admit that I didn't really get what was going on. The plot moves very quickly at moments, and very slowly at others. But, upon a second viewing I felt I really started to understand. The film is very rich, and the characters go deep. I feel like a common reading/viewing of 'The Wait' – or at least from what I've read in other critics reviews – is that the film lacks any kind of depth. I don't think so, I think there is a very strange coherency to the film. It's like a fever dream, the characters emotional movements like tectonic plates, in that they shift imperceptibly at times, but there always is a shifting and movement. I'm thinking particularly of Chloe's character Emma, her scene where she sees her husband again for the first time in a while. They're out on a boat, her mania is palpable. I found that shift to be really interesting. Thank you M Blash, and looking forward to the next one. –Howard

lamu9-1 The writers, director and actors collectively are so far in their heads with in depth 'intellectualism" and over thinking the story that their heads are up their bums and they can't see the trees for the forest. Unfortunately, this descent into mania will suck out and never return 1 hour and 45 minutes of your lifespan. A time which you will deeply regret. You simply want to write letters to all persons involved in the making of this production to rectify the loss of your time and money spent so poorly on this 'creative' endeavor. You will want to ask "And the point was, what exactly?" It's not even a poignant look at the way people react to death. It had that opportunity, but spoiled it with excessive and random acts of silliness, illogical conversations and odd human pairings.

brent0509-933-777627 I am highly confused by the Critics and scathing Audience reviews. This was a solid "A", for me, and a very well made film, with brilliantly acted characters, most especially, Jena Malone and Chloë Sevigny. Yes, this is not a movie for all but what movie is? It is a rather chilly, dark, lovely, and hypnotic piece of work and had quite a few unexpected scenes that were unfolding in front of me and kept me completely interested and invested in the characters in the film. If you like a Dramatic film, with a side of Psychological Semi-Thriller/Chiller, give this film a chance. I don't understand how most people who wrote reviews for this movie didn't get or understand it, as it was very clear to me and it also leaves you with quite a few possibilities on how you (the viewer) can leave to your own devices. The main plot is about three Siblings, who have lost their Mother, and how they, individually, cope and grieve shortly afterward. Like a well done movie, this one was gorgeously shot, has a haunting and hypnotic Score, by Owen Pallett, and truly captures the mood throughout. I could not say enough positive things about this movie! I watched it with a friend, who is 19 years older than myself, and likes the classics, like "Citizen Kane", etc., and was unsure of what he would think of this film. He loved it also and it made a great conversation piece, between us, for the rest of the evening. M. Blash, I think you did an outstanding job and was rather touched, moved, involved, and inspired by your Creation! A true gem!Grade: A
