sandie 10/19/2023 best movie to ever exist See more Phil N @RT27263595 2d Let’s get the ridiculous , but 100% apt, pun out of the way. This film really got under my skin. Scarlett Johansson driving around the roads of Scotland luring blokes into her vehicle to… capture? Skewed , weird science fiction. Collecting male bodies. A quirky but attractive female alien. Nope, not seen any of that before. I genuinely was fascinated, appalled, intrigued …. And left in a state of shock at the end. Nope… that was not enough. I bought the book the day after. Ooooh! Oh oh! Ok… THAT makes more sense, kind of. The film is a weird jumble of imagery based on a really profound and provoking story. It’s an allegory, for vegetarianism and meat slaughter. Isserley / Johansson, is part of a crew of aliens based in Scotland. Her job is to find ‘Vodsels’ , human men. These men are then caged, fattened and disfigured , to be sold as very expensive meat on her vegetarian species home planet. Their natural state is deer-like . The story is about the ethics of meat slaughter. See more mark D @RT09414769 Mar 8 Ooof, that was awful. ScarJo in her drawers/tastefully sometimes out of her drawers. I don't know, I stopped paying full attention and worked on my taxes. There's no amount of side boob that would make this a worthwhile film. Didn't read the book but hopefully THAT was an engaging story. See more Arthur M @RT78854981 Mar 2 Honestly thought the slow pace of the movie was very intense, and beautiful at the same time. Can't beleive this movie is only 83%, honeslty think it should be at LEAST in the 90%, MAYBE even in the 95%. Scarllett Johansen played an amazing, sexual attractive-man-hunting alien. Love how this movie used so many deep symbols, which made this movie SO disturbing, yet so absaloutely AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Laurian D @Laurian Jan 5 I love slow burn movies that keep you guessing and use elements that are open to interpretation. However, this movie dragged for way too long and the metaphors and visual elements used don't help the story, because there isn't much of a story here. It's lack of substance masked by pretentious visuals that ultimately lead to a very irritating finale. Once you sort of understand what was going on, your reaction will be "I can't believe I waited 110 minutes for this." It's more of a message than a story and even if this message would have been delivered in less than 90 minutes, it would still feel like a total waste of time. See more Tim B. @SlimTim0707 Jan 2 Under the Skin is an incoherent and unengaging example of the gap that sometimes exists between critical and audience acclaim. See more Read all reviews
