Arrival, Denis Villeneuve's 2016 first contact drama uses its fantastical premise to tell a very human story. Rather than whisking us away to a far off galaxy, the film instead stays close to home and unpacks one of our oldest ‘technologies’: written communication. Arrival analyzes what it really means to understand one another – and how figuring that out could be the only thing that could save us all.
