Plenty of people who work on cinema out there and many of them have made shit movies. Plus there are critics who gave the movie a rotten score. I don’t know about the book but there’s so many unanswered questions in this movie because a lot of things don’t make sense to me.

There is a degree of ambiguity, which doesn't mean that the movie doesn't makes sense, it doesn't fully explain you how the comprehension of the circular language works, giving space to some free interpretations, but that doesn't make its reflexions about comunication and language any less valuable, or the execution any less perfect. The novel was great, a very interesting reflexion about the (non)existence of free will, very recognized by important publications and awards, the movie translates the same story with a perfect direction, great cinematography, artistic design, music and a wonderful Amy Adams, it deserves nothing but praise.

And please..."there are critics who gave it a rotten score" the movie has a 94% in the tomatometer... those were only exceptions.

You can interprete its message about communication however you wish - personally, I see the collection of scenes that end up in a twist as shallow mellow drama. Again I don’t know how the book is but I can only judge the movie I saw.

And I guess the reviewers who didn’t like Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull are in the minority too.
