      Wael Khairy RogerEbert.com By envisioning a world where the consumers get consumed, the film calls for a reconceptualization of human and nonhuman relationships. “Under the Skin” denies human exceptionalism and supremacy. Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Kjerstin Johnson Bitch Media What started off as a potentially feminist film fell into a tired fairytale. Jan 21, 2021 Full Review Sarah Mirk Bitch Media It does not develop a plot so much as a fascinating feeling of underlying horror. Jan 20, 2021 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …any film or streaming version of Faber’s novel would take an Avatar-level budget to produce, and the commercial possibilities would be limited, but Glazer’s sole misstep as a director was to create this absurdly truncated version of this alienating tale… Rated: 2/5 Jan 18, 2024 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand [Director Jonathan] Glazer is less interested in the what and the why than in the texture of the experience, the intensity of the imagery, the sense of adaptation and alienation as this alien starts to connect with her victims.

      sandie best movie to ever exist Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/19/23 Full Review Christopher S This movie was so utterly boring and pointless!!! The scenes were so choppy and unconnected. I was lost from beginning to end. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/29/24 Full Review Audience Member WAS ZUM MINDFUCK WAR DAS DENN? Eine Frau verführt Männer die keine Freunde haben, die verschwinden oder ertrinken (der Quatsch wird nicht erklärt). Dies tut sie mal nackt und mal nur in Unterwäsche, aber meine Herren Scarlett kann das nun mal auch. Nach der Hälfte des Films wurde dann der Regisseur gewechselt, denn die Frau hat nun keine Lust mehr sondern begibt sich auf einen Selbstfindungstrip. Dabei findet sie dann raus das sie nicht die ist die sie wohl dachte zu sein (Der Quatsch wird übrigens auch nicht erklärt). Am Ende weiss man dann auch nur, das man gar nichts weiss. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/24/24 Full Review gsm g Briefly saw this movie at friends house, then rented online. Can see why people would boo it Its a train wreck but leaves you feeling what the heck did I just watch. And why the ending leaves you with a what the heck was that. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/20/24 Full Review Joseph K Not for everyone but very edgy, dark and feels very alien Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/06/24 Full Review Aaron C Pleasantly surprised, this is a slow burner but a great low budget Sci-fi film. One of Scarlet's best performances Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews
