Intelligent science fiction

This film is a linguist's dream. Finally an intelligent sci-fi showing the importance of communication in understanding others. It's beautifully shot and it mixes a bit of a Nolan style mystery into it. It is slightly inconceivable at times but that's the premise of a science fiction film.

Been spending a lot of time reading young adult fiction... didn’t realise how dark and graphic some of the material is... makes for good reading! Really been enjoying noon-fiction to, stories from doctors, pathologists, paramedics and prison workers! What are you reading at the moment?? What are you watching?? Inspire me...
