This week on We Interrupt This Movie, we’re revisiting Arrival (2016) — and yes, this is Take Two. Back in the early days of the podcast, we covered the film but later realized we didn’t quite do it justice. Considering it’s one of our favorite movies of all time, that never sat right with us, so we decided it was time to return to Denis Villeneuve’s beautiful, brain-melting sci-fi masterpiece with fresh eyes and a deeper conversation. We dig into what makes Arrival so powerful—from its approach to language and time, to Jóhann Jóhannsson’s haunting score (bookended by Max Richter’s beautiful piece, On the Nature of Daylight) to Amy Adams’ incredible performance—and why this film has only grown in stature for us over the years. Sometimes a movie deserves a second pass. This one absolutely did.
