I love that Amy continues to embrace the cleavage-barring outfits that began with American Hustle. Me likey.

Amy Adams is an American treasure.

 

 

[The Stingray]

Villeneuve is one of my favorite filmmakers at the moment, but he hasn't made a movie as good as Memento or Inception yet, imo.
 

[CoolioD1]

i like him. maybe this is it but i'm waiting for him to be paired with a great script.

[AniNate]

Now that the high of the festival receptions are wearing off, it sucks that all of this great stuff isn't coming out for at least a month

I have collected all reactions for ARRIVAL at TIFF and I have listed them all below per screening. These are about 150 tweets or so. As you can see, lots of passion and almost not a single hate tweet. I think the TIFF reception was the best yet for ARRIVAL. Enjoy!

PRESS/INDUSTRY SCREENING 1
Here come the raves! 

@ZeitchikLAT 
Arrival is that most beautiful of rarities: A film cerebral and atmospheric in the packaging of a global alien-invasion thriller #tiff

@PhillyCRC
Amy Adams double bill of NOCTURNAL ANIMALS and ARRIVAL might be top films of #TIFF16. Very high bar set for everything else I see.

@Matchity 
Holy crap, I LOVED Arrival!!! Dramatic, thought-provoking and emotional! #TIFF16

Elizabeth ‏@killsmedead 
ARRIVAL. Holy shit.

@BBCNewsEnts
Applause at end of #Arrival screening in Toronto. Deeply intelligent, haunting, emotional science fiction. Amy Adams astonishing. #TIFF16

@adambenzine
Well, I haven't seen LA LA LAND yet but so far Denis Villeneuve's ARRIVAL is the year's best film for me. Just stunning. #TIFF16

‏@jcnarvey 
Arrival is a masterpiece. Villneuve has never been better. #Arrival #TIFF16

@CelluloidDobler
"Arrival" - proof that Jacques Villenueve is one of Canada's best filmmakers. A must for sci-fi buffs! Crushing on Amy Adams #TIFF16

@cj_prin 
Arrival - I liked it but boy it takes its sweet ass time to reveal it's a doctor who episode #TIFF16

@mattrorabeck 
Arrival: Smart, adult sci-fi that we don't get very often. Goreously shot, quiet, nerdy. I liked that quite a bit. #TIFF16

@JasonGuerrasio 
ARRIVAL just wrecked me! Incredible. #TIFF16

rita_su 
Arrival: my mouth was agape 95% of the film #TIFF16

@ColliderNews 
Between #Arrival and #NocturnalAmimals, Amy Adams should win two Oscars in a tie

@NickyOdujirin 
Arrival has me speechless. And yet I have so much to say? Best sci fi I've ever seen. #TIFF16

@bstolemyremote
#TIFF16 #arrivalmovie: Spectacular. Refreshingly adult, understated and intelligent. The movie #Interstellar wishes it was

Bryan Bishop 
Arrival. Smart, moving, measured, beautiful. Wow. Between it and A Monster Calls, let's just call this Feels Fest 2016. #TIFF16

Jason LeRoy ‏
ARRIVAL: Sophisticated, elegant, deliberate sci-fi. Succeeds where INTERSTELLAR failed. Amy Adams is infallible. A- #TIFF16

Chris Evangelista ‏
ARRIVAL: thoughtful, complicated. Was unsure where I stood at first then the last 45 minutes absolutely WRECKED me. #TIFF16

@TakisGaris 
#Arrival This film is almost more than we deserve. The epicness of the final scene proves Villeneuve's tremendous intelligence. #TIFF16

@intothecrevasse 
ARRIVAL: utterly fascinating, with an unexpected emotional foundation. Don't want to say much more. Above all else, go in cold. (Loved it.)

@cinemavine 
#Arrival Wow. A powerful, stunning sci-fi anchored by yet another amazing performance by Amy Adams #TIFF16

@aguilararturo 
Villeneuve, como ya lo hizo Nolan, explota/explora la la relación entre lo emocional, lenguaje, ciencia y contactos espaciales. #TIFF16

@cevangelista413 
I'm not a spoiler-phobe by nature, but please avoid ALL spoilers for #Arrival. #TIFF16

Dazzled by ARRIVAL, which is sappy and hoodoo-y but also hopeful and visionary. More of an experience than a treatise. #TIFF16

Ryland Aldrich 
ARRIVAL packages some complex and fascinating ideas into a beautiful and emotional film. Truly top notch filmmaking. #TIFF16

@jasondashbailey 
ARRIVAL: God I love this movie. Thrilling, emotional, ingenious, beautiful. This is what I'm here for. #TIFF16

@NadiaNeophytou 
Walking out of Arrival, with my heart in my hand + eye makeup in need of a touch-up. Epic, profound, sappy in some parts, but wow! #TIFF16

@yo_damo 
Glad I caught up w/ Arrival; solemn but thoughtful & surprising. An intelligent Sundance movie disguised as mainstream studio fare #TIFF16

@claudlyon 
It's Amy Adams day at tiff from #NocturnalAnimals to #Arrival she can do it all! MVP #tiff16

@totalfilm 
#TIFF2016: Denis Villeneuve's Arrival - smart, serious sci-fi to stir heart & soul. Moving, thought-provoking. Amy Adams, as ever, terrific.

@petr_semecky 
Hands down. Villeneuve's ARRIVAL is an instant classic. Not just in its genre. Made me shake and cry several times. #TIFF16

@scott_tobias 
ARRIVAL (Villeneuve) Been a long time since a film hit me this hard emotionally. Not sure yet how my brain will sort it out. #TIFF16

@m_dinn 
ARRIVAL has all the genuine and earned emotion INTERSTELLAR wanted to have. Feels like a classic in the making. #TIFF16

Quote

PROS:

• The sci-fi drama about aliens coming to earth features an impressive ensemble cast of Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, and Forest Whitaker. All three know a thing or two about high-grossing ensemble films: their other 2016 ensemble films include Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice for Adams, Captain America: Civil War for Renner, and the already-sure-to-be-a-blockbuster Rogue One: A Star Wars Story for Whitaker in December.
• The trailer has been building huge buzz, with the “What is this movie really about?” vagueness that has proven such effective marketing this decade for everything from Inception to Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
• This is projected to maybe be an awards contender as well. If it does, that would be a big rarity for the sci-fi averse Academy to embrace such a movie, with them not having done so since District 9 in 2009, and could build an audience among older demographics.

CONS:

• Director Denis Villeneuve has only helmed dark dramas, never a sci-fi aiming for a larger audience. His Sicario earned $46.8 million last year and his Prisoners made $61.0 million in 2013 — decent sums, but ones that may be considered disappointments for Arrival.
• Although alien or alien-invasion films are often held up by cynics as Exhibit A for the kind of movie Hollywood produces too many of purely in the name of profit, the genre has not always uniformly had success over the past few years. Recent examples include this year’s The Fifth Wave with $34.9 million, Earth to Echo with $38.9 million, Ender’s Game with $61.7 million, and arguably even Independence Day: Resurgence which did top $100 million but was still largely considered a disappointment given its high expectations and the huge success of its predecessor.

This movie has so much to live up to. The previous two years we had Interstellar and Martian, both the top of their year for me or close to it.

Villeneuve is one of my favorite filmmakers at the moment, but he hasn't made a movie as good as Memento or Inception yet, imo.
 

 

Hes really got talent.

 

Even Enemy...that's one of the best movies I've ever seen that I really don't like.  If that makes sense.

Sounds like ARRIVAL is a must see. And it also sounds like SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD could be a #FantasticFest sleeper hit.

Arrival is pure, beautiful, true science fiction. Arguably the best of its kind since Contact.  No, Children of Men. #FantasticFest

if you don't go see ARRIVAL when it drops in november, you're a big reason why hollywood keeps feeding us garbage trash. #fantasticfest

Kristopher Tapley ‏@kristapley  5h5 hours ago
Feel left out on "Arrival." I'll see it again but it didn't hit me where I wanted it to and it's hitting everyone else there so I'm jealous.

Review: Amy Adams is tremendously great here; this is the finest work of her career, and it’s very comforting to see her take command in a way that isn’t militaristic but with empathy and with intelligence[/B].
