The film drops sharply from the contemplative human connection scenes to the disturbing assault sequence before recovering with the haunting finale.
Under the Skin maintains strong critical appreciation through its first two acts, with particular praise for its unique visual approach and Johansson's performance. The film peaks during its most memorable sequences like the beach incident and the disfigured man's release, but stumbles in its final act's more conventional thriller elements before recovering with a haunting conclusion.
