Wait wait wait I'm curious; I'm a languages person and my mom keeps trying to get me to watch Arrival for that reason. What bothered your gf abt the movie?

Nothing serious! Its about about a military linguist trying to translate an alien language, so the first third has a lot of scenes where a general will walk in like “explain Sapir-Whorf to me like Im 5!” Its since become one of her favourite films, she was just caught off guard in the cinema!
