Under the Skin

Very slow. both in terms of how slowly the “plot” moves along and how long the camera stays on for each shot (this movie puts blade runner 2049 to shame in that regard). Some might even call this pretentious and boring. That being said, something in this just worked for me at this particular moment. Something about the slowness is just so entrancing and captivating. I really wanted to turn this off after a few minutes as I was absolutely NOT feeling it but I’m glad I went through with it. Im not going to sit here and pretend I understood everything this is trying to say but what I did understand, hit me like a fucking a truck. This movie makes me absolutely despise humanity, feel hope and warmth towards humans and feel immense sorrow for humans all at the same time. This makes even the most mundane things feel profound and terrifying. Im so glad that I caught this at this particular moment because you definitely have to go into this with a specific frame of mind. Also, has a really cool, haunting, minimalistic score so👍👍👍👍 I don’t think this review fully captures what I’m trying to say here. Experiencing is understanding. Just go watch the movie (only when ur in the mood for something like what I’m describing though, otherwise it just won’t work for you)
