This is a beautifully crafted piece of filmic art, slow moving shots through cleverly lit atmospheric sets, common sense editing within scenes giving the feeling that you are changing your own point of view to see what is happening. The development of the main character is handled so flawlessly well, you can understand her drives/reactions so quickly and fully very early within the film. And finally the music.The soundtrack is so essential to creating the feel of this film that without the lilting strings, prolonged chords, curious horn sounds and vocalisations, a vast amount of emotional content would not even exist. All of this tied into a truly novel concept with regards to why and how alien life contacts the human race results in a truly outstanding sci-fi experience.
I recommend watching this alone or, if you are with others, suppress the urge to speak, because moving focus away from the subdued flow of this film will interfere with how deeply you can engross yourself in the content and potentially how it may affect you.
