## Description

An alien entity inhabits the earthly form of a seductive young woman who combs the Scottish highways in search of the human prey it is here to plunder. It lures its isolated and forsaken male victims into an otherworldly dimension where they are stripped and consumed. But life in all its complexity starts to change the alien. It begins to see itself as ‘she’, as human, with tragic and terrifying consequences. UNDER THE SKIN is about seeing ourselves through alien eyes. UNDER THE SKIN, starring Scarlett Johansson, is Jonathan Glazer’s critically-acclaimed third feature after Sexy Beast and Birth.

    Ignore the one-star ratings!
  

*by I***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 June 2018*

This film needs its star rating increased! The one-star raters are, well, ignoramuses. While hauntingly mysterious, there is nothing 'incomprehensible' about this film at all. An alien in human form very gradually becomes humanised and more vulnerable, leading to her destruction. At first 'she' is concerned about the need to 'consume' men in some sort of alien way, with no thought of the consequences (the beach scene for example), then the fascination about people (crowded street scenes), developing empathy (letting the disabled man free), to trying food and sex without success.  Putting an A-list Hollywood star in the title role, driving a transit fan around grubby Scottish streets interacting with little known or non-actors is a brilliant stroke, and the contrast with beautiful Highland scenery. Then there is the gender-bending aspect - at first, 'she' attacks unsuspecting men, by the end she is a terrified assault victim.Notice all the little touches - the opening sequence and the briefly seen lights in the sky early on, for example. Her aggressive fast-driving motor-bike  minders, aware of her transgressions, ultimately fail to find her. One of the most intelligent thought-provoking sci-fi films ever made, I've seen it 3 (or 4?) times, it gets better each time!

    A massive star like Scarlett Johansson driving around in a van
  

*by H***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 June 2018*

A massive star like Scarlett Johansson driving around in a van, in Scotland no less, looking for prey, it all feels so out of place. Her presence is a clever device employed in the movie to invoke a feeling in the viewer that something's amiss, and really helps give a sense of the alien perspective the director was aiming for. And that's only one of a myriad of cinematic devices used in this movie to help the viewer start to shift their perceptions and view the familiar from an increasingly alien viewpoint. At some points it's not an easy watch. It manages to mix the mundane setting with the incredibly creepy overtures fairly well. By the end of the movie, ordinary things start to feel very alien indeed. It's a movie that really tries to mess with your perception of reality, and pulls out all the stops to do so. It's a masterpiece that knows what its trying to do, and does it well. But its success in achieving this may be a double edged sword, in that some viewers may not be able to go the whole way in letting the movie subvert their sense of reality, and get less out of it as a result. But for those who are happy to let the movie it do its thing, it's an incredible watch.

    Marmite: if you like Transformers, you will likely hate this.
  

*by L***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 June 2018*

IMO: Elements of the essence of classic science fiction. Not big budget Hollywood, but a thought provoking story. Sometimes slow in pace which emphasises the very ordinary setting: everyday life. Observing what it means to be human in a modern society, the main character lures men to their end and by the end attempts to explore (becoming?) what it is to be one of those humans.Fascinating to watch male behaviour when faced with a beautiful woman chatting them up from a white transit van and again when offered the prospect of sex they are quite willing to enter a derelict house...If the main character were male chatting up females in these locations, the story wouldn’t have worked!
