#282 - Under The Skin
Monday, 23 February, 2026
Jonathan Glazer’s Under the Skin (2013) is a haunting and hypnotic sci-fi drama starring Scarlett Johansson as a mysterious woman who roams Scotland, luring unsuspecting men into her orbit. With minimal dialogue and an abstract narrative, the film is less about straightforward plot and more about atmosphere and interpretation. Glazer’s mesmerising use of sound design and otherworldly visuals creates a memorable experience, elevated immensely by the unsettling score. Johansson delivers a committed performance, complete with a convincing British accent, anchoring a film that has inspired years of analysis. So after reading the script, we attempt to bring some fresh insights to this modern cult classic and unpack what might really be going on beneath the surface.Join a crew of wannabe film critics review a different movie every week, and discuss other nonsense.
