I never write reviews, just read them, but I feel the need to be blunt about the content of this movie. As an artist, myself, I can appreciate a movie with strange tones. However, this movie could have made it's point in a fraction of the time. I watched it at home, on Netflix, with the ability to fast forward.... and I did. I missed nothing. Toward the beginning, Scarlet Johansson's character attacks a man swimming at the beach. She drags his lifeless body up the rocky shore, while his toddler watches in horror and cries. The infant cries for quite some time, while the alien (Scarlet Johansson) goes about her business (well in to the night). At this point, I started to wonder if she'd have a change of heart, and bring the child to a safer place. But, no. Instead, she abandons the devastated toddler, on the rocky shore, still crying, in the middle of the night. It was ugly. Don't get me wrong, I understand that it was part of the plot (if there was a plot). But, it was a huge factor in my rating of this movie. As I skipped ahead, the movie didn't get any better. Hardly any dialogue, and the little there was, was dull. Also, her killings were very repetitious, and uneventful. This movie's concept left room for so much more, yet, it never progressed. For anyone brave enough to take on this LONG and TEDIOUS movie, I recommend: 1: Cozy Blanket 2: A Few Snacks (you're in for the long haul) 3: A Crossword (for the cake scene) 4: A Napping Pillow (in case you finish your crossword, before the cake scene ends) 5: A Buddy (nobody like to suffer alone... plus, you'll need someone to wake you up when it's over)

The worst part about the movie, isn't the incredibly slow scenes.. where you are shouting at the film "OKAY I GET IT!! MOVE ON!!" It's that you WANT to watch the actual movie!! It's like you're waiting on the film to start and it never truly does. Instead you are stuck staring at clouds and listening to piano music. Is the music pretty? Yes. But am I watching this film FOR the music? No. I want to see some aliens. I want to see more of the story. I don't need bombs exploding to get my attention, but I DO need more than the same scene repeated over and over.. and over.. and over. I mean- essentially we just stare at ScarJo's body and face the entire time with no real progression to the story line.That's not a problem, because she is beautiful.. right? It's really low hanging fruit to just have naked people in a movie for the sake of having naked people in a movie. I assume anyone watching this movie and "LOVING" it.. just really loves to see some boobies/booties and everything in between. And everyone else is trying to just be as pretentious as the director. I have seen art in movies.. and real, *moving* music paired with really emotional scenes. This was just.. so boring. So .. so boring. I found myself wanting to open my tablet and check my email.. go make another coffee. It could not hold my attention and I usually love indie films. This one just did not do it for me.

This movie is beyond bad. It has no plot really, and it's confusing with no purpose. It also has scenes that are totally out of left field, like the weird faced dude that was wandering around in the wild naked. What was the point of that? And who were the motorcycle dudes? Nothing made sense. At one point she seemed to find someone she liked, then all of a sudden she is wandering around in the wild - how did she get there? What was she looking for? We will never know. Total mess and it is awful. Zero stars.

I'm not even sure what I just watched. Maybe a little to " artsy" for me to understand. It was just awful.
