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

11/02/2017 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 02/28/2017 Riveting, unusual and highly original. See more 06/27/2014 surprising and intelligent sci-fi, somewhat let down by a section where there's a lot of running around... See more 11/11/2013 An alternative take on the alien invasion genre that messes with our human sympathetic instincts. See more 10/17/2013 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 10/05/2013 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.
