“I adore this film. From the acting to the direction, and the mystery to the brilliant collaboration on all parts, THE ARRIVAL hits all the right notes, effectively telling a compelling story from start to [almost] finish...The combination of Director Alyssa Rallo Bennett and this cast is a match made in heaven.” —Bain's Film Reviews
“Bennett’s picture could be dubbed “The Little Chill”; a comparison to Lawrence Kasdan’s 1983 classic, The Big Chill…THE ARRIVAL is infused with smart dialogue and good performances from its cast. Alice Heber Martin, Peter Bradbury, Nikolas Elrifi, Nick Hamparyan, Vivian Helvajian, Ines Ladha, Pooya Mohseni and Daniela Urdaneta do fine work. Each performer finds an organic creation in their respective portrayals. A good deal of the performers are [cast from Stonestreet’s Residency Program] first-timers on the screen, their work here should allow them long and respectful careers…The filmmaker has confidence in the drama of the piece and understands the emotional tension comes from the characters and the well-written dialogue….The screenplay involves its audience in adult conversations that explore many different layers of the human condition. Bennett paints her film with a sharp analytical edge, showing a compassion for the characters that echoes through every scene. Through a brash honesty, the director has crafted a rewarding filmmaking experience.” — The Movie Revue
“A handful of people wind up in a Manhattan bar. This isn’t a joke, it’s the concept behind a fresh, original film THE ARRIVAL, by Alyssa Rallo Bennett and Gary O. Bennett... What a setup for an interesting couple of hours! And then we fly forward nine months. This quietly powerful outing will get under your skin.” —What She Said
