Arrival
The best way a story has ever been told. Denis is such a master at his craft and every movie continues to elevate him beyond every working director. The idea almost seems impossible. Saying what you want to say here while still making a compelling story in a science fiction space. A story that at its root is far past what is happening on the screen. Looks at grief, acceptance, and celebrating great moments that we can’t overlook regardless of if the ending is hard to stomach. Paired with one of the best finales to be put to screen, this level of storytelling is unprecedented.
