Nuanced commentary on Brexit? A unique take on MS? Nah. This is quite literally nearly two hours of a woman teaching a mute alien how to run a farm. You can't even call it a "slow burn." Something would need to friggin' get burned.

It started out with a lot of mystery and unanswered questions which kept me intrigued. As the story unraveled I felt like I understood the main character's pain and the difficult problems she was faced with. I was torn between liking the man who showed up randomly or hating him. This movie made me reflect a lot about situations faced in real life. I would call this movie an excellent thriller with very personable characters. I would recommend this to anyone!

This film is mysterious, creepy, pained and deeply allegorical. Tonally it is close to a horror but most important is the emotional turmoil of the farmer, struggling with illness and only able to cope with the support of her migrant workers who she has a difficult relationship with. When they start to disappear her struggles only deepen into desperation. And this is where the film works beautifully, when The Good Neighbour appears and she finds some respite in their company. See this if you liked Under The Skin.
