Review of Arrival (2016)

By Alissa Wilkinson (499) for Vox (725) on 11 Nov 2016

Arrival is one of the best movies of the year, a moving, gripping film with startling twists and imagery…

Review of Arrival (2016)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 11 Nov 2016

Unless there’s something truly momentous going on, I prefer my sci-fi to be a lot more weightless than weighty…

Review of Arrival (2016)

By Chris Knight (998) for National Post (1,405) on 11 Nov 2016

Arrival is one of those movies with nary a wasted word; fitting, given the subject matter…

Review of Arrival (2016)

By Sam Adams (514) for BBC.com (1,500) on 11 Nov 2016

With Arrival, Villeneuve finally finds a subject, and a script, whose magnitude matches the weight he assigns to it…

Review of Arrival (2016)

By Brian Lowry (913) for CNN.com (607) on 11 Nov 2016

Those expecting a whiz-bang film should be prepared for a more cerebral and emotional experience, admirable for its ambition and tone, if not…

Review of Arrival (2016)

By Will Leitch (411) for The New Republic (897) on 11 Nov 2016

Arrival plays with your head as gently as any sci-fi thriller I can remember…

Review of Arrival (2016)

By Mathew Dekinder (396) for Suburban Journals of St. Louis (395) on 11 Nov 2016

Arrival is high-minded sci-fi at its best and lands as one of the best movies of the year…

Review of Arrival (2016)

By Theresa Smith (147) for Independent Online (South Africa) (258) on 11 Nov 2016

Amy Adams grounds the film with a solidly engaging performance…

Review of Arrival (2016)

By Lennycliff123 (13) on 11 Nov 2016

As other have commented, Villeneuve is a good director but this is a step in the wrong direction for him…

Review of Arrival (2016)

By Adam Nayman (350) for Sight and Sound (827) on 11 Nov 2016

Arrival has the look and feel of a big-ticket production, albeit torqued towards millennial melancholy, complete with a muted, blue-grey colour…

Review of Arrival (2016)

By Patricksousa (7) on 11 Nov 2016

Just like Villeneuve's other films, this one has proved that he is one of the greatest director nowadays…

Review of Arrival (2016)

By Matthew Lickona (530) for San Diego Reader (713) on 11 Nov 2016

Denis Villeneuve's latest is an artier - certainly moodier and less entertaining - version of M. Night Shyamalan's Signs…

Review of Arrival (2016)

By Gary Rotstein (19) for Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (258) on 11 Nov 2016

Arrival is not out primarily to thrill or frighten. It asks viewers instead to watch, think and reflect. It should be worth it -- if you give it time…

Review of Arrival (2016)

By Fantasy (142) on 11 Nov 2016

This was on my must see movie list. The movie starts out very slow, then gets slower until finally I started to doze off…

Review of Arrival (2016)

By Sara Michelle Fetters (1,688) for MovieFreak.com (1,674) on 11 Nov 2016

Villeneuve [delivers] a motion picture that reaches into the heavens in an attempt to grab hold of the stars, [and] the fact it comes close…

Review of Arrival (2016)

By Nuggetman (5) on 11 Nov 2016

Denis Villeneuve is a talented and promising filmmaker, 'Prisoners' being an obvious benchmark…

Review of Arrival (2016)

By Victoria Alexander (762) for FilmsInReview.com (462) on 11 Nov 2016

Avoids sloppy sentimentalism and gives the most probable contact with other beings we will likely encounter…

Review of Arrival (2016)

By Gary Wolcott (857) for Tri-City Herald (818) on 11 Nov 2016

Decent sci-fi that wanders a bit and is kinda slow but it's darkness helps keep your interest and while good but not great, it at least is…

Review of Arrival (2016)

By Kristy Puchko (422) for CBR (174) on 11 Nov 2016

Villeneuve's indulgence in mood and melancholy mount to a conclusion that wastes its compelling premise and wallows in infuriatingly all-consuming…

Review of Arrival (2016)

By Roe Mcdermott (197) for Hot Press (197) on 11 Nov 2016

Adams' acting is masterful: she is strong, raw and vulnerable, a beating heart in the bloody mess of humanity's fear…
