A weak cup of tea. A smug, lifeless story lacking real conflict (beyond the usual military yelling) so expect little to see, atrophied irritating acting, laughable dialogue, recycled plot, terrible music. I was expecting something interesting and with depth but no. Transcription is below par, subtitles are good, sound dropout in a couple of places. Overall a waste of time and money. Would be probably rated G if not for one use of a swear word. It's a long way down from Incendies to here.

If you enjoy stories about a woman learning a new magical language from squid then this is the film for you! The sound production is on par with Interstellar, so be prepared to change the volume drastically every 30 seconds. If you enjoy stories that aren't boring and slow moving about being able to see the future, then watch Next with Nicolas Cage. Same concept, way faster moving and actually has action...

I liked the story and concept that she was able to perceive the future by learning a nonlinear language, that effectively rewires the brain to be able to perceive time and space kind of from another dimension. It's a little difficult to work out at first but the concept was original and interesting. That said I find quantum physics fascinating, even though I really don't fully understand the theories! Open your minds people and enjoy it!!
