Alien language

Rating: 9/10 (27 December 2016)

When I saw that Denis Villeneuve had made this science fiction film, I knew I had to see it. It's an intelligent, gripping movie about first contact with an alien species, specifically with our attempts to communicate with them. It turns out that communication with aliens may not be as easy as one would think! Especially when aliens do not have the same sense of time and language that we have. Learning an alien language would have a profound effect.
The story is told in such a way that the viewer is left to figure it out. The plot is non-chronological. I admit I had to visit the internet afterwards to understand better what I had just seen. Amy Adams pretty well carries the movie on her own, and she pulls it off. A great movie.
