Under the Skin

+1. The closing scene is mind blowing...as is the whole film to be honest. I thought that Scarlett Johansson's performance was brilliant and showed an amazing, sensitive and unexpected character development.

I'm on a big "new release" film glut at the moment - going 2-3 times per week. So far only one turkey. Everything else has been very good to stunningly excellent. 

Any of these films off your radar, @hootsmon ? They're all great. 

Molly’s Game
The Florida Project
Film Stars Don't Die In Liverpool
The Phantom Thread

I think you may have been taking the “under” theme a bit too literally.

Acts of violence
Accident man

Fuengi

Two fairly recent American films which really struck a chord with me, but then I do love a slow burner with a deep theme:

Hell or High Water.
Two brothers fighting to keep their West Texas farm after the death of their mother. 

Take Shelter.
Michael Shannon plays a man who is tormented by visions of a forthcoming apocalypse.
