Arrival

Denis Villeneuve

★★★★★5.0
would watch again

The twist recontextualises everything, but unlike most films with twists, the rewatch is better than the first viewing. It becomes a film about accepting loss rather than escaping it. Amy Adams carries the whole thing with barely any dialogue. Villeneuve at his most precise.
