It's admirable that Johansson should be so willing to go off the Hollywood grid, but the truth is, "Under the Skin" would have been a lot better if it wasn't so excruciatingly arty.
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

All this is initially fascinating, and then progressively less so.
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

Most of Under the Skin operates on an almost subconscious level. The truth is out there in Glazer's screenplay, which he co-wrote with Walter Campbell, but it's intuitive rather than didactic.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star

One of the most polarizing movies in recent years.
