A film that forces viewers to reconsider that which makes us truly human, and the impact of grief on that timeline of existence.
Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com

Plenty of smart ideas and bravura visuals.
Dave Calhoun, Time Out

Arrival gives us a lot to take in, and the picture is big, somber and grand, if in the end somewhat sterile.
Stephanie Zacharek, TIME Magazine
Fresh
Anchored by an internalized performance from Amy Adams rich in emotional depth, this is a grownup sci-fi drama that sustains fear and tension while striking affecting chords on love and loss.
David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter
