Arrival

Without even planning it, I ended up doing an Amy Adams double bill last night, starting with Arrival. I was quite looking forward to watching this — not only because I’ve had so many friends tell me they enjoyed it, but also because I am such a fan of Denis Villeneuve’s films (especially Enemy). And yes, I enjoyed the fuck out of this. It’s smart, beautifully shot, with a story that keeps you guessing until the very end — and it really does all come together nicely. Very much recommended, and it makes me that much more excited for Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049.
