What is so good about Arrival?
The film works as a powerful allegory for how we try to decode and interpret the tragedies of our lives. Content collapsed. Without spoiling too much, let’s just say Villeneuve and Heisserer use the Kuleshov effect to turn the non-linear storytelling of “Arrival” from a gimmick to an indispensable part of the film.
