Review of Project Nim (2011) by Metamotivcritic — 15 Jul 2011
Although a bit overly manipulative and melodramatic, this is nevertheless a fascinating and heart-wrenching story, particularly for those of us who knew only about the scientific debate over the nature and origins of language that was the initial impetus for the Nim study.
The participants/characters are amazingly forthcoming; and the disconnect between the scientific background of the project and the human (and chimp) stories "behind the scenes" couldn't be more striking or more telling.
It is a movie that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally powerful.
