Noel Murray The Dissolve Plot and character sketchiness aside, though, Vanishing Waves is incredibly absorbing, because Buozyte and Samper are smart about how sexual urges can override all reason and obligation. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 23, 2013 Full Review Farran Smith Nehme New York Post There are interesting themes: about how much of the impulse to love is hidden from the conscious mind, and how much of sex is fantasy. But the impact is diminished by lifeless leads. Rated: 2/4 Mar 15, 2013 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times This Lithuanian love story from Kristina Buozyte offers a discomfiting blend of visual ecstasy and narrative sterility. Rated: 2/5 Mar 14, 2013 Full Review Q.V. Hough Vague Visages Vanishing Waves boasts a touch of Andrei Tarkovsky, but I found many similarities to the psychosexual thrillers of French director Alain Robbe-Grillet. Jun 30, 2022 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com While some of the performances are stilted and the central romance isn't quite engaging, there's a hypnotic power to the memorable imagery, a tequila sunrise dreamscape tapping into unexplored chasms of sensuality. Nov 13, 2020 Full Review Eric Melin Scene-Stealers.com Writer/director Kristina Buozyte creates some stunning dreamscapes and puts together the shared-experience sequences with a real freshness. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 2, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

allen h Something may have been lost in translation. I just didn't care about the characters. I usually like movies like this so wonder if I would like it remade by an English speaking staff creating characters who seem real to me Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Being an epileptic, this might be interesting ... on Filmrise, free Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Although there are some parts I personally did not like to much, overall it was a really great original story. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review jake s A Lithuanian scientist hooks up some wires and goes all inception into a coma patient's mind. A patient who, apparently, is a big fan of Davids Lynch and Cronenberg. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A sci-fi conundrum interspersed with an erotically-charged, luscious tale of systematic alienation--Intense and surreal... Inception Weird!! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member The "Observer Effect" (One Affects Another By Pure Participation) Is Explored Here Through Lucid, Deceptive Fantasy & Lurid Fetish. Parts Of This Will Frustrate But It Really Delves Deeply Into Aspects Of Love & Romance Where Many Stories Rarely Go.. What One Might Consider Love Another (Scientist Or Doctor) Might View As Just Chemical Realease Or Trickery Of A Semi-Concious State..Lost In An Abyss Of Self-Satisfying Thought As Chemistry Affects Patterns Of The Brain..Hrmmmm.
