Storyline

At a beachside resort in Florida in 1980, twenty experts gather for a weekend conference on a global issue that is starting to gain traction: the effects of Co2 emissions on the climate. The group of scientists, activists, and policymakers have one simple mandate from Congress — write a statement about what to do. Easier said than done.

A Statement is nothing if not a tribute to the messy business of living up to the motto on America’s seal: out of many, one.

Funny and terrifying in equal measure, Tom McCarthy’s A Statement is a work of recent history rendered urgently, re-creating a multidisciplinary policy meeting on climate change in October of 1980.

A Statement, for all its well-founded despair, also manages to be an extremely entertaining movie.

Good news: A Statement is a film that is aware of its limitations, and its authors are consistently making interesting cinematic choices to overcome them.
