I hope this finds audience acceptance outside of its genre followers; The Arrival of Wang is a low-key but compelling and unique work. Go to Full Review

Nov 2, 2017 It's a fantastic 80' movie, seeing that Italy has little or no history of sci-fi movie making, Francesca Cuttica plays a cool Aloise, but being a pro translator/interpreter myself, she doesn't remember she has to be impartial and translate exactly and impartially what is being said by the 2 parties...perhaps the outcome of this thrilling story might have been quite different (for us humans)...who knows?! See more Bill F @BrokerBill Feb 28, 2017 Riveting, unusual and highly original. See more Jun 27, 2014 surprising and intelligent sci-fi, somewhat let down by a section where there's a lot of running around... See more Nov 11, 2013 An alternative take on the alien invasion genre that messes with our human sympathetic instincts. See more Oct 17, 2013 An interesting twist on this sci-fi genre but it's not a great film and peters out to an inevitable Disappointing conclusion. See more Oct 5, 2013 Oddly compelling low budget Italian sci-fi. The interview scene is over-long and the ending predictable, but nevertheless I couldn't tear myself away. Definitely worth a watch.
