Movie rec

[ysobel]

I know I've mostly gone radio silent on social media since, oh, last Tuesday; but I wanted to say holy jumping crabcakes you guys, "The Arrival" (sci-fi first contact movie out in US theaters right now) is fucking *amazing*. (With a bonus of "lingistics that didn't piss me off"; there was a tiny smidgen of the multlingual-linguist thing, but otherwise good.)

IT WAS SO AMAZING YES YES. I've been pondering how much of my love for it was based on puzzling out what was eventually figured out / revealed, and thus how much I'd enjoy a rewatch, but regardless, LOVE IT TO BITS.

(thank jeebus for some happy things)

I really enjoyed watching The Arrival, whereas my partner pretty much loathed it - we had a good conversation trying to work out which film the other person was watching ;)
