The film Arrival hints at b-theory of time. Does it actually support it?

I have done a lot of searching, and all I can come up with is a Quora answer that I’m not sure answers my question. 

The film Arrival involves individuals’ ability to experience time differently. Does this only work in a world where b-theory is correct?

Forgive me if this has been asked before, I searched both through Reddit and Google without any luck.

Yes, pretty much. It's based on a short story called 'Story of Your Life' which brings it out a bit more clearly. 

>'The physical universe was a language with a perfectly ambiguous grammar. Every physical event was an utterance that could be parsed in two entirely different ways, one causal and the other teleological, both valid, neither one disqualifiable no matter how much context was available.

>'When the ancestors of humans and heptapods first acquired the spark of consciousness, they both perceived the same physical world, but they parsed their perceptions differently; the worldviews that ultimately arose were the end result of that divergence. Humans had developed a sequential mode of awareness, while heptapods had developed a simultaneous mode of awareness. We experienced events in an order, and perceived their relationship as cause and effect. They experienced all events at once, and perceived a purpose underlying them all. A minimizing, maximizing purpose.'
