re: The Arrival

My infant son had major cranial surgery last year. I saw Arrival in the theater and cried pretty much nonstop for two hours.
I thought it was an achingly beautiful film, but it sort of hit me at the right exact time in my life. An alien arrival film that's really about parental love and the difficulty of communication was sort of exactly the film I needed. It's one of my favorite films ever made, but for very personal reasons.
However, I do think this is the KIND of movie we always say we want Hollywood to make: it was a challenging, well-acted, high-concept, big budget original movie aimed primarily at adults. Even if you didn't like THIS movie, this is the sort of movie Hollywood should make more of. And adult audiences should support it for this reason. So we get more big budget, well-made films aimed at adults.

Arrival was the best film of last year. In every way. It was as human as Moonlight while tackling more complex issues, having a better score, having better direction, better cinematography, and a better overall story. It is one of the best films I've seen in a long time. It is structured so as to mirror the discovery and understanding of the alien language, which is a brilliant stroke by Villeneuve.
I am eagerly awaiting his take on Blade Runner.
