Amy Adams is having the year of a lifetime.

The Academy Award nominated actress (American Hustle) has not one, but two films garnering buzz in 2016: Tom Ford’s Nocturnal Animals and Denis Villeneuve’s Arrival. 

But which is harder. Motherhood or Sci-Fi? And, more importantly, how important is the power of language, and the need to communicate effectively as a human race?

Find out as Loni Stark catches up with Amy Adams at the opening night of the Mill Valley Film Festival (video above).
