I've read some things about Under the Skin last year when it was premiered in some film festivals but it was when I saw the trailer at the movie theater that I really get the interest to see it. Under the Skin trailer totally hypnotized me and it kinda made me reminded me of Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey even though the theme was not the same. If the trailer did that to me I was almost sure that I was going to love it but after reading a lot of five star reviews here I thought that I was going to be blown away and that did not happened.

Under the Skin is definitely an hypnotizing film. I felt that the film absorbed me into some of its creepy and weird scenes. I also felt disturbed a lot of times but I guess that those times were exactly the ones where the director wanted to pass some of the meanings. It is a very visual film and is terrifying soundtrack helps to create the creepy mood.

Scarlett Johansson's performance is great! She was able to be bizarre and show not a single emotion at the beginning but then her performance is transformed into something more powerful and touching and we might think.

I have to confess that I am little bit confused about the interpretation of the story but I think I am not far from what the story wanted to deliver me. I think is film wants to criticize society especially when it comes to women and it is a really interesting aspect to put an alien into the skin of a woman because afterall the synopsis does not really tells the significance of what we are about to see. It's another kind of film where each of us must fill the blanks.

Under the Skin is definitely a very original film. I liked it but I did not loved it as I expected.
