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.

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.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
"The Wave" feels overdetermined and ploddingly dramatized.
New York Times
Rating: 4/5 --
Thought-provoking stuff.

The inclusion of an engrossing (yet expected) finale ensures that The Wave ends on an exceedingly positive note...

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.
