Rating: 1/5 -- Here is the winner of this week's No Shit Sherlock award: a prime example of the kind of film dead set on telling you what you know already. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- It's a strong film but in the end a rather obvious one.
London Evening Standard

Rating: 3/6 -- Still, the quicksilver editing and thumping score mean it's zippily put together, and an undeniable willingness to engage with a youthful audience is admirably inclusive. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/5 -- "The Wave" feels overdetermined and ploddingly dramatized.

Product Description:

In this German thriller, a teacher's experiment goes horribly wrong when he tries to teach his class about fascism. Rainer Werner (Jurgen Vogel) makes his students dress alike, enforces discipline and unity, and invents a code gesture that will remind many of the "Heil Hitler" salute. The students get a little too into their lesson, and the results are frightening. THE WAVE is based on a true story from California in the late 1960s, but its move to Germany turns it into a deft satire.
