Roger Ebert

It’s a film that forces viewers to reconsider that which makes us truly human, and the impact of grief on that timeline of existence.

The Guardian

This is a close encounter of the engrossing kind: smarter and more dreamily exalting.

The Atlantic

Arrival is Amy Adams’s movie from the first frame to the last.

The Verge

Arrival's extraordinary success is that it combines its bravura style and grand science-fiction questions with tremendous emotional intelligence and a heart so full, it’s ready to burst.

WIRED

Arrival is not the kind of science-fiction film that delivers a jaw-dropping opening weekend. But it's as moving as it is cerebral, contemplating the nature of time as ably as it considers the chasms that divide so many of us.

Vox

Arrival is much more concerned with deep truths about language, imagination, and human relationships than any one political moment.

Common Sense Media

This deeply thoughtful, profoundly compassionate sci-fi movie beautifully mixes realism with a sense of wonder.
