Similar, but I found Arrival much more satisfying than either of those. Slow, meditative, reflective, and in the end leaves as many questions as answers (in a good way). I think you'll enjoy it, and it's worth a blind buy.
All the best SciFi leaves you feeling like that I think!
I know right!!? Such a complicated/amazing feeling. That's why i LOVE scifi.
I've loved all of the Director's last 3 films (ignoring Enemy), Prisoners, Incendies and Sicario. Not seen this yet, but probably going to be a blind-buy for me
I agree that Enemy wasn't everybody's cup of tea...
I just straight up, didn't like it at all. I wanted to, but couldn't. The others though are easily some of the best films I've seen in recent years, Prisoners 8.5/10, Incendies 8/10, Sicario 9/10.
Agree. Or research the story a bit more on a few forums and watch it again. It's a multiple watch film that you'll pick up on something different each time.I agree that Enemy wasn't everybody's cup of tea...
But when I saw it, I realized what a master director he was. The film is super subtle in its genius. His control over TONE throughout the film was incredible. (He had scenes where you would be nervous or uncomfortable with no rational reason to be). The staging, music and Cinematography were just incredible.
Maybe give it a shot again sometime.

(He had scenes where you would be nervous or uncomfortable with no rational reason to be...that's a hell of a trick). The staging, music and Cinematography were just incredible.

Completely agree with all of the above. Easily my favourite film of his so far! Although I do still need to check out this one (Arrival).
It would be great if it included the 4K disc inside also...
