A Statement review: a gripping climate change drama set in 1980 Florida

theguardian.com —

The film "A Statement," directed by Tom McCarthy, dramatizes a failed 1980 congressional conference on climate change and premiered at the New York Film Festival. The movie recreates a 36-hour meeting of 20 experts in Florida, using verbatim transcripts for half its dialogue, and stars Paul Rudd, Paul Giamatti, and Tatiana Maslany in a story about the struggle to reach consensus. The film highlights the human emotions and personal interactions behind the scientific debate, offering a more effective portrayal of climate change than satirical works like "Don't Look Up."
