Surprising breadth & depth for Sci fi

Rating: 10/10 (28 April 2019)

Really had no expectations coming into this movie but ended up really engaged and moved. The concept, the subtleties and the "between the lines" of this movie get under your skin way after the credits have rolled up. Though the arrival of alien beings onto Earth, a linguist explores the meaning of life, being human and the nature of things as we know them. Amy Adams acting is superb. She elevated the average script and weaves in so much emotion and vulnerability into her portrayal of this character. I am still pondering the questions raised in this movie and it has tangibly changed me.
