What are critics saying?
Yes, it’s derivative to a fault — but a deserved midnight-movie cult following is all but assured.
New York Post by Farran Smith Nehme
Toward the end, despite the wintry script and chilly acting, some emotion begins to break through. But it’s never a good sign when the art direction offers more fascination than the sex.
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
Trippy in the best sense, Vanishing Waves adds a healthy dose of eroticism to its familiar sci-fi genre.
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
This Lithuanian love story from Kristina Buozyte offers a discomfiting blend of visual ecstasy and narrative sterility.
