A linguist is brought in after alien craft appear around the world. Arrival was released in 2016.
A real science-fiction drama about language, time and the bravery of choosing connection.
What makes Arrival a strong choice tonight is not simply the premise, but the way it gives that premise room to gather force. It rewards an uninterrupted watch, when its tone and rhythm can do their work.
Choose it when you want a film with a clear point of view rather than something to half-watch. Save it now, then come back to PLOT with the scene, performance or feeling that stays with you.
