Im not the biggest denis fan.
I pretty much like all of his films(that i have seen) but im not head over heels over the guy.
Arrival proves he's a great director yet again.
Coming closer and closer to being one of the most excited directors working today.
Arrival is a pretty good blend of sci fi, mystery and drama.
Amy adams is not an actor i really enjoy but in here she was great, its also fun to see jeremy renner in a non mcu role.
Visually it looks great like every denis film i have seen.
Arrival

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A meditative first-contact story that trades spectacle for intimacy, unfolding as a profound meditation on time, loss, and the power of language to reshape how we see our lives. The real drama isn't about alien invasion, it's about one woman's reckoning with fate and choice.
