Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
THE WAIT
Synopsis
An enigmatic phone call from a psychic catapults a family into a state of suspended belief while they wait for their recently deceased mother to be resurrected. But this leads to a discordant struggle between the sisters, as one believes the claim, and the other staunchly opposes it.

Our take
A mysterious sense of stillness hangs over M. Blash’s otherworldly and beautifully-shot contemplation on familial grief, told through haunting ellipses. Indie darlings Jena Malone and Chloë Sevigny are deeply moving as siblings in a state of limbo, emotionally paralyzed by the loss of a loved one.
