Revisiting this underrated Coen brothers gem, we were shocked how little Johansson is in the picture. The second of her three movies with Woody Allen , this is the one where she actually gets to be the neurotic Woody Allen stand-in that so many male actors have had the blessed opportunity to be over the years.
The movie is minor Allen, but Johansson is legitimately funny in it. But better things were in her future. Johansson was 11 when she played the Manny of the title, the younger sister of Lo Aleksa Palladino. The two sisters run from foster home to foster home, but when the older sister gets pregnant, they find a mother figure in an employee at a baby clothes store Mary Kay Place who helps them so much that they decide to kidnap her.
She always adds something vital to these movies, but she rarely gets to own them herself. It is worth noting that Johansson has become such a skilled physical actress that we totally believe Black Widow can fight alongside all these superheroes despite not actually having any powers herself. She plays Lucy, a college student who — for reasons too silly to explain — accidentally absorbs a drug that allows her to utilize all of her brainpower.
And super good at kicking ass! Lucy is ridiculous, but Johansson is so confident and grounded in the role that you simply accept the stupidity. Plus, it helps that Johansson can actually portray a smart person, which is harder than you might think in a film this amped-up and pseudo-profound. The action sequences never stop, and neither does the sly wink Johansson shares with the audience. But Johansson is undeniably the breakout star.
Her infamously dry and sardonic voice fits perfectly with the bored, indifferent, deadpan Rebecca. She is both droll and sarcastic but also oddly hopeful and even eager to grow and mature … even if it takes it farther away from her best friend.
We want her to come back. You probably know the story: Samantha Morton initially played Samantha, the A. So we recast and since then Scarlett has taken over that role. Much like her character, Johansson transcends the confines of our expectations, becoming someone new. There are no bad guys in this movie, and while Baumbach arguably tilts his focus slightly more toward Charlie, both the filmmaker and the actress make sure that we understand what Nicole is going through as she moves back to Los Angeles and starts over.
More than 15 years later, though, this film remains one of her peaks. The beauty and tragedy of Under the Skin is that, eventually, that character will come to understand what it is to feel, but Johansson never goes for cheap sentiment.
