Wait for Me is a journey to face our deepest fears from a point of view of a teenage girl, in a minimalistic world of realism and fantasy.
The creator and director - Sari Turgeman, places the plot inside a claustrophobic space in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, and creates an uncomfortable contrast (and somewhat a physical irritation) of trapped emotions, begging to be released to the air. This idea is portrayed beautifully by the restrained performance of Hallel (Maya).
Hallel's debut performance is impressive and authentic (unlike the expected over-compensating performance of emerging young actors), and I believe we will see her again on the big screen very soon.
I was impressed by how the characters of the family seemed so naturally and profoundly connected, considering the fact that some of them never act in the same scenes or share the same space.
On a personal note, this film touched me on a deep level. I admit I cried twice during the film - once towards the end and again during the final scene.
Without a doubt, this is a film you'd want to watch on the big screen. The beautiful camera shots, together with an extraordinary sound work, allowed me to feel the full blast of the sea and enter Sari Turgeman's emotional world without looking back.
