The Lunchbox Exquisite and exciting, exotic and inviting, this tale of a romance that begins with a misdelivered meal will put a smile on your face, a tear in your eye.

Under the Skin Scarlett Johansson, robotic and hypnotic, stars in this deeply creepy and mysterious noir, about a stranger who trolls around Scotland looking for men to seduce, and devour. From filmmaker Jonathan Glazer. R
