lucky for me because i was able to finally watch ARRIVAL
to play off tunic's comment above, this is a bit of a stupid poster that doesn't really want to make me watch the movie, but when i found out it was a denis villeneuve film i figured it was gonna be good. and it was great!
robinstigator gave it a good review long ago and i think severian too, but rob hates movies i love (haha) and severian if i recall has a positive amy adams bias (justified, but still), and i didn't know villeneuve back then, so i postponed viewing until a favorable occasion... and it sat forever in my queue.
thank fuck titane's dehumanizing gore porn sucked shit, because i was able to see this instead. so very good! |
I also couldn’t make it far into Titane but ARRIVAL is one of my favorite movies I’ve seen in the last 5-6 years. Like sure Amy Adams is great but the film itself is such an achievement
It manages some real narrative acrobatics without any of it feeling cheap. And the ending absolutely wrenched my guts out and twisted them but also somehow made me joyful.
Beautiful, brilliant film and Villeneuve’s best if you ask me.
