Honorable Mention: Under the Skin (2014) Jonathan Glazer (via fellow TYF writer Jon Espino)
The polarizing nature of the film may leave you either hating it or loving it. Regardless of your view, it undeniably commanded your attention and intrigue throughout the entire film. In an inspiringly haunting performance by Scarlett Johansson, she plays an alien who is coming to terms with new found feelings of humanity. The beautiful, natural landscapes in combination with dynamic scoring makes this film mezmerizing, even if the film’s message goes over your head.
Honorable Mentions That I Haven’t Seen, So I Couldn’t Comment On: Wall-E, District 9, Attack The Block, Sunshine (Okay I’ve seen three quarters of it, got stressed out, and turned it off.)
