Arrival 2016

I love movies that make me think. "Arrival" is one of them.

Denis Villeneuve is becoming one of my favourite directors of his generation. Since "Prisoners" in 2013, he has been on fire with "Enemy" (2014) and last year with "Sicario".

Don't expect a typical alien movie like "Independece Day" or "Cloverfield".

If you know Villeneuve's work, expect a movie that in the end will leave you with several questions (which may only be answered with a second display).

Like is previous works, "Arrival" is a slow burn movie that pays off in the third act with a brutal ending where most of your questions throughout the movie will be answered.

Also, to highlight the performance of Amy Adams (she might get her sixth nomination for an Oscar) and the screenplay by Eric Heisserer.
