Character mistake: Early in the film we are repeatedly shown the alien character flirting happily with various men, relaxed, confident, even socially forward, in fact often more articulate and socially at ease than the various Glaswegians she encounters. Yet later on, inexplicably, all this social nous mysteriously disappears and she is completely baffled and blindsided by the simplest of social interactions, almost a mute. Since the film has virtually no plot it's hard to see why this jarring turnaround should be so.

This is a strange and haunting film. Scarlett Johansson plays a seductive yet naive alien who brings lonely and forgotten men to her apartment where they're consumed by an entity. She, herself, is consumed by the world and experiences to the point that she runs away, only to be put into flames.
