Waves Ratings & Reviews
- Kevin WardJuly 1, 2025Really well made film, across the board, about radio journalists that risk their lives to distribute independent reporting amidst the invasion of Warsaw Pact troops. We follow Tomáš, a communications technician, who catches a break and lands a job working for the editorial office in Czechoslovak Radio. But state security begin to leverage Tomáš because of the activities of his activist younger brother, Pavel, which puts Tomáš in a precarious position. Again, really well made film with a compelling and interesting story. I don’t feel like the romance was needed, but it also didn’t detract from the narrative too much. Worth checking out.
- Jason LaytonApril 22, 2025It doesn't get much better than this. Historical drama that makes you feel the history!
