Under the Skin, Jonathan Glazer: 2.5 / 4
I wanted to understand. Why is this so acclaimed? I didn't have a particularly enjoyable during my initial watch in January, but I felt I should've. So I embarked again, hoping to emotionally attach to Scarlett Johansson's character. I didn't get there. This film's artistry is admirable, a select few scenes are extremely powerful. But the universe was too relatable, the Scottish-realism mixed with ScarJo's search for some sort of existential answer didn't work for me. I'm not sure what they could've done differently, they seem to have made the movie they wanted. The only rewarding parts were the beach scene and the conclusion.
Solaris, Andrei Tarkovsky: 3 / 4
Whatever evaluation I could possibly put here is premature. This film's layers are too extensive. All I can say: God save us.
