Puts linguists among world's elites

Rating: 9/10 (21 January 2017)

This is a unique movie. It has no resemblance to Interstellar at all, on the contrary it's quite "unsciencey". If you look deep you may notice some protest, even rebel against the reign of positive sciences in every walk of life, and a yearning for place among world's elites. Because this movie exactly depicts this: promotion of a handful of highly educated, highly skilled linguists -Louise being one of them- to top positions in world affairs as only they can make use of a sophisticated language with weapon-like power. Now, this cheesy plot feels like a sure way to a disastrous movie, but here it isn't, thanks to masterful directing and monumental performance of Amy Adams. This is the type of movie you watch once only, so try to get it right the first time.
