“Which “A Statement” does, when Dr.”
“Yet despite warnings from Irish physicist John Tyndall in 1859, the fear of climate change is only now coming semantically into view, more than a century later.”
“Read More: A Statement Film NYFF Reviews Tom McCarthy Daily Headlines Daily Headlines covering Film, TV and more.”
“McCarthy’s alternately zippy, at times tedious, and altogether beige-colored film answers the question “can humanity solve the climate crisis?” pretty succinctly: no.”
“The illustration of women in “A Statement” suffers from a lack of multidimensional nuance — like when Ryan’s character, back in her hotel room late at night, bemoans her voicelessness in the conference room to a sleeping husband on the other end of the telephone.”
“‘Josephine’ Director Beth De Araújo Delivers Powerful Speech Condemning Cornell Rape Case Writer/director Tom McCarthy (“Spotlight”) is a nimble maneuverer of stories mostly made up of talk, and where talk is often cheap, and where words fail to articulate historical truth despite humankind’s bravest, unrewarded efforts.”
“But rather than a piece of agitprop messaging disguised as cinema, “A Statement” is made richer for being a kind of talky treatise on language itself’s failure to convey meaning — or provide a stable architecture upon which a group of people can reach an agreement.”
“To that end, McCarthy’s often snappy but stagelike seriocomedy blows a lot of hot air in its first half in a screenplay he wrote with Thomas Bidegain and Noé Debré.”
“That’s because the screenplay, whenever it’s set inside the Grenada conference room, comes verbatim from the transcript written by a Congressional stenographer for posterity.”

“By now, we’re all so numbed out to climate change by the indifference of past administrations and the current one, which withdrew from the Paris Agreement (again) at the top of this year , that the hopelessness “A Statement” arrives at hardly feels shocking.”
“Reagan’s legacy of environmental stewardship proved mixed.”
“(Or a meeting that sounds important, anyway.) Congress, meanwhile, is ready to act on what it has identified as the impending risk of carbon dioxide emissions.”
“It’s no surprise when a lone title card at the end of the film reveals that the 20 individuals who formed on October 30-31 — professors, researchers, lawyers, physicists, industry heads among them — never made a statement at all.”
“But again, we’re working from a transcript here, and just because it’s word-for-word doesn’t mean it’s consistently fascinating or full of snippy badinage.”
“Both she and Maslany get a Big Speech in the final act that encourages a light probing of women’s opinions being shooed away by misogyny, but they don’t feel like fully fleshed humans so much as poster people for big issues.”
“Fiona Lowe, Daughter of Chad Lowe and Kim Painter, Dies at 13 2.”
