Under The Skin
It's a science fiction story about Michael Faber's novel. The events start with that story about a strange woman who went to the highlands in Scotland. That woman began to use her beauty and attractiveness to pick people up for her truck to turn them into food for her army. It is the most exciting story in the form of an interesting scientific imagination.

I just hated, hated, hated every mind-numbingly pretentious minute of it.

An exploration and subversion of the unstated theme of 'Species' and its ilk: the fear of female sexuality, and the fantasy scenarios that are all tied up in those fears.

Repetitive but creepy sci-fi horror flick likely to get under your skin.

Under the Skin is a movie that truly defies articulation. It's visceral; not violent or exploitative, but challenging and exotic.

Though Johansson barely speaks, she conveys her alien character's unfamiliarity with her body and her surroundings, as well as her growing awareness of what it means to be human, in every look and subtle motion.

All this is initially fascinating, and then progressively less so.

Glazer judges the men who die as he leers at Johansson in the exact same manner. Then there's a fire, and you wonder why you bothered.

Minds will be blown to the four winds. And - fair warning - a percentage of American ticket buyers may find themselves exasperated and/or exiting early.

Most of Under the Skin operates on an almost subconscious level. The truth is out there in Glazer's screenplay, which he co-wrote with Walter Campbell, but it's intuitive rather than didactic.

One of the most polarizing movies in recent years.

It's admirable that Johansson should be so willing to go off the Hollywood grid, but the truth is, "Under the Skin" would have been a lot better if it wasn't so excruciatingly arty.
January 05, 2015
Glacial in pace, skeletal in plot, and generally nasty, Jonathan Glazer's Under the Skin is a repetitive nightmare of drear and dread punctuated by moments of queasy-making horror.
