Jonathan Glazer Scarlett Johansson photocall venice film festival under the skin

Scarlett Johansson attended the photo call for Under the Skin at the Venice Film Festival, and while she looks amazing, we're not so sure about the film she's promoting...

And it sounds like we're not the only ones. Johansson stars as an alien seductress in Jonathan Glazer's new sci-fi flick, and when it screened at the Telluride Film Festival last week, it left critics scratching their heads. The Hollywood Reporter reports that a number of folks in the audience walked out of the theater and yup, the flick (which took NINE years to make) is still seeking a U.S. distributor. Scott Feinberg at THR writes, "To me, Under the Skin is a lot like another visually beautiful but plotless and pretentious film from a director who is capable of so much more." Eeks!

Fanboys will be delighted over the full-frontal nudity, but we have no idea how the special effects are and we felt like we were squinting the entire time we watched this brief teaser:
