Far more than your ordinary alien encounter.

Arrival is a masterfully made film that works on multiple layers and with parallel narratives.
Yes, it is about alien visitation, but its theme(s)
Includes the perception and nature of time,
as well as our acceptance of life's journey,
both the sad and the triumphant. Louise's
journey provides exquisite joy and love, far outweighing the loss. The heptapods' gift enables her to embrace the joy. The direction,
cinematography and design are outstanding.
As usual, Adams delivers a fully realized character with whom we can relate and admire.
Renner's performance is subtle but serves the movie very well.
