I saw Waves a few weeks ago and had a question regarding Catherine being Tyler and and Emily's stepmother. I showed up to the movie a few minutes late and had to go to the bathroom right before the abortion clinic scene. Is it ever established that Catherine is only their stepmother before Tyler storms out of the house and exclaims, "You're not my real mom!"? That moment hit me like a ton of bricks and felt so powerful, and also a huge revelation that adds so much more context to the family's relationship. However, I wondered if it was established earlier, because if it was, I feel like it would diminish the impact of that scene.
Terrific movie, though. One of the best of the year already filled with excellent films.
