Emotional, intelligent sci-fi at its best
When one thinks of science fiction films, “emotional” is not usually a word that comes to mind. There is, of course, emotion in sci-fi — but the genre tends to lend itself more towards the analytical; the scientific; the quantifiable. Deep-seated emotion isn’t an anomaly in sci-fi, but it’s not altogether common. So Denis Villeneuve’s haunting, beautiful, challenging Arrival might catch some off guard, especially because the film’s emotional resonance sneaks up on you. http://www.cutprintfilm.com/reviews/arrival/
