Review of Arrival (2016) by Christopher E — 17 Nov 2018
This is the definitive alien visitation movie. From the onset to the consecutive reveals, the execution is flawless. You are thrown into the raw emotions and struggle of one person against the awe and fear of something so much more than themself.
The stress and confusion are palpable as is the relief found in human connection. This movie represents an appreciation of time, moments, communication, language and the genuine joy of learning something new.
The powerful feminism of this lone woman standing against the aggressive ideals of the masculine world is far more effective than any film overtly intending to do so.
