Never in a million years did I think a movie that would make me contemplate my existence would also have Darude - Sandstorm in it.
KarstenAug 12, 2014I love it when a straightforward story gets a unique treatment. Glazer's film is deliberately alienating, visually and aurally arresting and singularly engaging. I say the latter with no small amount of reserve as it asks a lot of its audience making it difficult to click…

belApr 19, 2014*THERE WILL BE SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW* To be honest, I don't think that I have ever gone to see a movie in theatres twice before... not even some of my other favorite films. But after I went to go see Under the Skin last night, I knew that I had to see it again, and I…

itscharlibbSep 12, 2013(aka The Woman Who Fell to Earth aka Post Tenebras Fucks): absolutely epic. the rare film that feels genuinely new, even while borrowing liberally from its influences. among other things, one of the cinema's most deeply empathetic portraits of loneliness.
davidehrlichOct 22, 2018Two of the scariest shots this century: 1. Baby on the beach, at night, trying to stand up; exhausted from crying all day so he's just red faced and confused. 2. The dude literally imploding. One shot so simple and human; the other so inconceivably alien. Both…

- Maia Soni is "meh" onUnder the Skin
Overall this movie had very cool shots and a good base line story. However, I feel it was a little complicated to stay engaged with the meaning behind the story because of how many unnecessary shots were included. Overall I think they could have done better. Still alright though.
Serenity is "meh" onUnder the SkinThe idea behind it and the symbolism is very interesting, but the rest of unbearable. It’s very slow paced and often has plot points that do not add to the plot whatsoever. As art, it’s beautiful. As a movie it’s quite boring. Tw sex, nudity, child death, animal death, graphic SA
haleema lovedUnder the Skinthe filmmaking techniques are great. scarlett johansson killed as the female. the film felt quite natural for a sci-fi, which was the intention. i quite liked all the metaphors and symbolism too, and how it showed the importance of consent & the violent depiction of rape culture

Teddy likedUnder the SkinExtremely intense and interesting movie. The intensity is compounded by the lack of dialogue and the overlying purpose is not overt but left to the viewer. Very appreciative of creative Sci fi movies like this dealing with AI and consciousness. Not for everyone, def experiential
Bird dislikedUnder the SkinIt’s rare I don’t finish movies, but it actually pained me to continue watching this. I got half way through and still had no idea what it was about. Had some good cinematic but the dialogue was just not it. Made me way too uncomfortable. Creepy in a way that isn’t entertaining

- Izzy is "meh" onUnder the Skin
Interesting movie and concept. It was extremely slow as all the other reviews say, laughable at times - at least for my group. We liked the concept and wish we knew a little more about some of the events in the movie. I probably won’t watch again but not mad I watched it!
Shahar is "meh" onUnder the SkinDefinitely one of the weirdest movies I’ve ever seen. I just don’t get the idea behind it, like it was very cool that they used real people to show how easy it is to abduct man although what people might think. But it was really confusing and just weird and VERY slow.
Jacob Hall likedUnder the SkinThe film is not as pretentious as people make it out to be. I view it as a representation of the hypocrisy from xenophobes. If this happened in real life, you wouldn't feel bad for her since she's a murderer. But for some reason you do when it's shown in a movie

Yes, Glazer asks a lot of his audience. At times the movie feels like something you've walked in to the middle of, so you're thrown off balance. Yet it's hypnotic — you want to stick around to see what happens, and maybe just to figure out what the hell is going on.

This stark and intensely controlled film is the work of a powerful visual stylist and storyteller, one who looks like he belongs on the short list of directors who have carried the narrative methods of the silent era deep into modern cinema.
