12 Most Overlooked Science Fiction Films Of The 2010s

Jonathan Glazer’s opus on isolation and connection tells the audiences as much about humans as it does about its protagonist (Scarlett Johansson), a dark alien prowling the Glasgow streets in search of potential mates.

Poignant, otherworldly and oppressive at once, the film follows the woman as she literally drains man after man following sexual acts, until she meets someone who makes her realize what she is truly yearning for.

The gray and foreboding shots of Scotland and Johansson’s haunting, sparse-yet-rich performance are the two elements that make Under The Skin a thought-provoking science fiction piece about human nature and relationships in the modern world.

There is barely any music in the film, which makes it feel like a documentary on 21st century loneliness. Once you see it, the film latches onto your psyche and never lets go.
