‘Arrival’ is an intricate web of ideas – out of this world and yet very much focused upon our own and how humans as a species communicate.

Denis Villeneuve has steadily transitioned from psychological thrillers – Enemy, Prisoners & Sicario – to extremely elaborate franchises in ‘Blade Runner 2049‘ and ‘Dune‘ – something that is going to capture everyone’s attention very soon.
