Review
"Arrival is such a beautiful and thought-provoking film that it almost singlehandedly makes up for every bad aliens-coming-to-Earth film you've ever seen."--Brian Truitt, USA Today"So sure is the stride of the narrative, and so bracing the air of expectation, that you feel yourself, like Louise, beginning to spin, and barely able to catch your breath."--Anthony Lane, New Yorker"An outstanding sci-fi film with an intergalactic language lesson."--Bill Stamets, Chicago Sun-Times
