sandie 10/19/2023 best movie to ever exist See more M W @katspike 4d Watch it alone in a dark room... or with someone you know well who is patient, open-minded, and will not interrupt. There is minimal dialogue, uncomfortable scenes, and no explanation of the plot. The Glaswegian accents are difficult to understand - you're observing the world through an alien's eyes. Watch it knowing that almost everyone in the film is just a normal person - not an actor. They did not know they were being filmed (until afterwards). If a beautiful woman offered you a lift, would you get in? Would you follow her into a dark, dilapidated house? It's shocking, disturbing, strangely beautiful and very thought-provoking. Many will hate it. Some will think it's a masterpiece. Spoiler: ScarJo is an alien meat collector / farm worker. Presumably, she has learnt human behaviour by observing "white van man" sexual predators, so she takes on that role. The humans are basically farm animals... until they're not.

It appeals to people who like to sniff their own farts and pretend long scenes with nothing happens and a character stares into space is profound. Utter waste of time See more Vixo S @vixo_six Jul 26 Under the Skin feels less like a film told from an alien perspective than one actually made by an alien. Human bodies and ordinary behavior are observed with unsettling distance before the story gradually discovers empathy and vulnerability. Scarlett Johansson is remarkable, using posture, silence and tiny changes in expression to communicate a transformation that rarely needs dialogue. I understood and admired the film’s intentions, although its mystery sometimes feels unnecessarily exaggerated. The repeated black liquid sequences are initially haunting but eventually become too insistent, making a powerful idea seem more obscure than it needs to be. Even so, its final movement is disturbing, beautiful and unforgettable. It is not always engaging, but it has already left a mark on me. See more Katie F @Keepitabuckfitty Jul 25 I’d rather watch a potato sit still until it sprouts than ever watch this sht again See more Wesley S @Snobby_Wes Jul 25 I can describe this word with three b words. Boring, Bush, and Bricked. Don’t watch this unless you plan on pretending it’s artsy and good. If you were my friend and told me to watch this I wouldn’t wanna be your friend anymore. 18/100 See more Read all reviews
