The only movie from Nolan I'd compare to Arrival is Memento, because it's the same plot trick of using manipulative story structure to mislead the audience.
That's extremely reductive and hardly an accurate description of either film.

Also, imo, between Arrival and Interstellar, the former is the better film.

Not to mention Arrival's central premise of
Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is mostly discredited in academic circles.
Yeah but Sapir-Whorf doesn't take alien languages into account (I'm joking but yeah, I imagine if there was a language on earth that could help us see our future and change our perception of time, that would be the language that catches on, not English).

Arrival sucks, makes very little sense, and is Villeneuve's worst movie.
