Under the Skin

About This Movie

So, 'Under the Skin' from '97 has this eerie and haunting vibe, you know? It's all about Iris, the younger sister who's really struggling after their mother's death. The atmosphere is thick with tension and a sense of spiraling despair. The film dives deep into themes of identity and loss—like, the way Iris tries to cope through her reckless escapades. The performances, especially from the lead, are raw and unsettling, which really pulls you into her chaotic state of mind. It’s interesting how it plays with the idea of family dynamics too. The pacing is deliberate, allowing this sense of suffocation to build up slowly. It's not flashy, but it leaves a mark, for sure.
