A rare feat

Rating: 9/10 (27 December 2017)

There have been SO many alien arrival movies. What more could this one offer, right? How about more humanity? This film never tried too hard (at the suspense, at the emotion, at the philosophy)...it showed and never told. And by the end I was blown away. Every element (cinematography, acting, score) worked together, and this movie somehow managed to be a sparse and character driven story that asked big questions...and happened to be about aliens. A rare feat indeed.
