In all seriousness, Under the Skin is quite an experience. It's a film that leaves more questions than it answers, and is purposefully provocative in it's desire to explain a damned thing.
It has a jarring mixture of styles, alternating between almost amateur/hidden camera shots and visually stunning moments on a whim. It has plenty of beautiful vistas, and plenty of simplistic yet surreal moments when things get a little extra-terrestrial.
Scarlett Johansson puts in a solid performance as the mysterious being, managing to come off dangerous and vulnerable all at the same time, certainly sympathetic for a creature the audience know very little about. The climax of the film is hard to watch, and highlights the ugliness of the human race effectively, and the entire film is backed by an incredible music score.
I'm not going to pretend I fully understood Under the Skin, but it's truly otherworldly whilst feeling grounded in its Glasgow setting. A genuinely uncomfortable yet beautiful experience.
