ronald K May 25 This is a film not to be watched and enjoyed but to be endured I swear this feels more like some form of CIA or KGB torture to make you go insane See more William L 02/14/2021 I'm sure there's something to be said about redefining the use of space, sound, and composition in film. About forcing a viewer into an uncomfortable position to redefine their perspective and consider aspects of the medium that are entirely distinct from those that commercial film has touched upon. About the distinctive vision of the outsider artist, freed from the shackles of convention and instead blazing new paths in creativity and in doing so perhaps taking the audience to a higher plane of understanding. But also this is 40 minutes of staring at a wall in different colors as white noise blares in your ears. Props to Snow for creating something that is distinctive and entirely different from what was expected of film at the time, but damn. (2/5) See more s r @ScottR 02/17/2018 1001 movies to see before you die. Despite it being unique and experimental, it's not one you need to see, unless you're a film student. It was on YouTube. See more 03/26/2015 Wavelength's relatively brief runtime of 45 minutes is utilized to cross a single room while toying around with sound effects and color schemes. The result is as boring and maddening as it fascinating and revelatory. See more 11/26/2012 An experimental film that bores and compile with an annoying soundtrack. See more 10/28/2012 Very interesting, but at 45 minutes it's a bit much. See more Read all reviews
