this was a sci-fi story mixed with a love story

It was good, I enjoyed it, but afterwards I said “I bet this was written by a woman” and I was right.

The film Arrival was based on the short story “The Story of Your Life”, by Ted Chiang.

It wasn’t written by a women. The screenplay was written by a man, based on a book that was written by a man. Doesn’t matter to me who wrote it, it was a terrific movie!
