Best Film Of 2016

Rating: 10/10 (27 November 2016)

I was incredibly excited to go into this movie since it was being directed by one of the best directors working today Denis Villeneuve. I walked out of this movie floored. This film I have seen twice not and there has been no other movie this year that has stuck with me long after leaving the theater. There wasn't one thing in this film I had a problem with. The performances are all incredible especially from Amy Adams who gives the best performance I have ever seen from her which is incredibly high praise since she is one of the best actresses working today. She is very subdued and you believe everything that she is doing because she sells her character so incredibly well. The cinematography is exceptional in this film and every shot has a unique visual style from Bradford Young. I am not going to spoil the ending but it takes a while to fully process and that is why it is an excellent film to go see twice because it works just as well if not better seeing it again.It's a film that gave me chills in the first 5 minutes of seeing it and pretty much the whole time. It stuck with me long after seeing the film and it's a movie that raises questions. It is a hopeful movie with bigger ideas than just a typical alien invasion movie. This has been one of the best movies so far this decade. Please do yourself a favor and go see this movie. (A+)
