The renowned director Denis Villeneuve who often makes intelligent challenging feature films that leave you contemplating the message long after you left the theater, from Prisoners to Enemy, with Jake Gyllenhaal. His latest movie, Arrival, is his first genre into sci-fi and of course the extraordinary Amy Adams playing an expert linguist who is recruited by the government to communicate with aliens when the thing make first contact.

4. Nocturnal Animals

Tom Ford is coming back with his second directorial venture. In this David Lynch meets Alfred Hitchcock movie called Nocturnal Animals, an entertaining noir fictional melodrama filled with crime and psychological suspense featuring big screen players, Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal. Ford adapted the screenplay from late American novelist Austin Wright’s 1993 book Tony and Susan, and the film’s title comes from the novel within that novel. The novel itself defines extremely intimate act of reading, as access to another person’s thoughts, feeling and experience, while in the movie Ford recreates the theme in subliminal ways, a movie about watching movie. On the side notes, since Ford did the costume for major film production, in this particular movie we will be visually spoiled by painstakingly beautiful costumes.
