Stars: Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Forest Whitaker, Michael Stuhlbarg, Mark O’Brien, Tzi Ma, Frank Schorpion, Lucas Chartier-Dessert, Christian Jadah | Written by Eric Heisserer | Directed by Denis Villeneuve
When language expert Louise Banks (Amy Adams) is called upon to try to help communicate with aliens who have arrived on Earth, it is a race against time before apparent war with the visitors. With time quickly running out and communication seeming impossible, will a miracle save humanity from apparent destruction?
Arrival is one of those movies that has a moment that reveals the truth to the audience, and if they miss it, it remains a very confusing movie. When they finally get it though, it is both heart-breaking and brilliant in equal measure. It is also a moment that I won’t spoil here. It has to be experienced to realise how good the storytelling in Arrival is.
