+1 for Villenuve. All his movies I have seen are excellent. I’d rank them as follows:
- Prisoners
- Blade Runner 2049
- Sicario
- Arrival
- Enemy
I’d put Sicario below BR2049 and Arrival, but perhaps my opinion of it isn’t as high because I wasn’t able to watch it in one, uninterrupted sitting. I rewatched both Arrival and BR2049 this week, and I think I like the latter more now. I used to think Arrival was a perfect film, but I came to realize that it fundamentally misunderstands Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. They are all fantastic films, though. I have yet to see Prisoners or Enemy, but I’m sure the same applies to them, and Villeneuve’s past work (and future Dune adaptation).
