Oh my. This film. I never knew I was waiting so long to watch a story that shows how language can unify; how language is the essence of a culture and how it is not subject to the laws of nature and "reality." Arrival is way more than a sci-fi movie--it's about the importance of selflessness/sharing, patience, and trust. It's about overcoming fear to embrace love.

I can't quite explain how I felt when I saw this one--just go see it.
