A sumptuous epiphany.

Rating: 9/10 (19 August 2018)

As with all pleasurable experience, it is so good to make it last. Arrival is the equivalent of waking up on Monday morning and slowly realising it is Sunday... only to doze off and do it again...and again. It's not a 'Kaiser Soze' lightning bolt, rather an exciting archeological find that is slowly revealed with delicate brush strokes, eventually exposing the treasure in its entirety.
Perhaps all of the garbage sci-fi films before did have a purpose? They were the thousand abrasive Monday wake-ups, that primed us for this beautiful, Sunday morning epiphany....and made it ever so sweet.
