Scarlett Johansson, Under the Skin (2013)

Director Jonathan Glazer is getting major Oscar buzz for his current release, The Zone of Interest. But his previous project was this moody, almost experimental sci-fi tale about an alien who assumes the form of a woman and prowls for male victims as a way of learning about the human race. Released as Scarlett Johansson’s Avengers fame was ramping up, it shows her range and is still one of her eeriest, most intuitive performances.
