exactly the type of horror movie with superb imagery and *just* the right amount of studio interference that I needed. my taste will never get better, and that is a promise.

just as vital to now as Do the Right Thing was when it came out. phenomenal cinema. the KKK still exists, the Nazis still march, but hope never dies. our voices will never be silent.

me, before Arrival: i love sci-fi!! this will be such a fun time!
me, after Arrival, with tears in my eyes: oh ok

theater usher: so did you like the movie

me, my voice cracking and crumpled tissues falling out of my pockets: ʸᵉᵃʰ ᶦᵗ ʷᵃˢ ᵒᵏ

theater usher: excuse me?

me, sobbing and melting into the ground as my spirit leaves my physical body: oh my god i'm so sorry

THE film of a lifetime. so silently impactful and grand. it's all about time.
