A strange visitation one night by her grandfather brings Nam back to her ancestral village in mainland China, where she learns about her father’s painful past.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The Reticent Wave is a solid entry rated 7.0/10. Not a masterpiece, but quality work that won't leave you disappointed.

A high rating speaks for itself — this film found its audience and didn't let them down. Trust the collective taste.

Released in 2023, this film holds up just as well today. Best for: viewers looking to try something new without being too demanding.
