  • An amazing first feature

    I was super impressed by this movie. The director manages to create a perfect blend of esthetic eeriness and great suspense. The main character is immediately endearing, and before the main title came on screen I was already curious to see where this would all lead.

    The cast is particularly strong. Every man portraying an archetype of the male figure, a different flavor of masculinity. The contrast with the main (and only) female lead made every scene portent with quasi sexual tension, but never crossing the expected lines and keeping the audience on its toes.

    The film made me think at times of previous classic Quebecois movies like "La bête lumineuse" and "Gina" - not certain if they were inspirations, but I enjoyed the references nonetheless.

    Can't wait to see her next projects!

  • Simply amazing!

    Got the chance to screen at the FNC in Montreal. It's far from being a perfect movie but it's got enough meat for me to chew on for a while! It's a manifesto. It's an homage. It's a scrapbook of all the revolutionary movements that ever existed.

    Mathieu Denis and Simon Lavoie concocted a curious cinematographic essay, that takes four participants of the Printemps Erable movement of 2012 ans tries to see where they could be a few years later. It's not quite political fiction but it is fiction and it is political. It is also very poetic and at times theatrical. It also mixes actual footage from the 2012 events, and other real interviews, with their fictive character portrait. They quote Godard "La Chinoise" as an influence, but watching it I also thought of Michel Brault's "Les Ordres" maybe because of the nationalist theme. The result is simply amazing. Bravo!

  • Best film of 2014!

    By far my favourite 2014 film. It kept me captivated from beginning to end. I'm not sure what I liked best about this film. The carefully framed shots, the eerie atmosphere it creates, the ambiguity of its main character. While I'll admit it's certainly not a movie for everyone (the pacing is slow, the plot twists are coded and the meaning is not explicit) I absolutely enjoyed watching Scarlett Johansson's character discovering a new world with the same awe I had watching the film!

    Pretty much everything (from best to worst) has been written in other comments, but if you like beautifully shot movies with deep philosophical questions, like Kubrick use to do, please give Under the Skin a chance!
