Review of The Skin I Live In (2011) by Robinsnest — 19 Mar 2012

Wow, what a ride. Until the director let me in on what was going on I was lost. But I didn't care as I was completely engrossed, especially with the two leads. There is a lot of issues here and until I started to see where it was going I was enthralled.

But when I learned who was who and why was why, it didn't quite hold together. the only way for me to give it a positive rating is to accept that the good doctor, is not only mad but exists in only one world, his own, which has no resemblance to civilization, normalcy, or anything.

See it and then discuss it. It will leave an imprint whether you like it or not. It's a hard film for me to rate. I will give it my lowest recommended rating. Perhaps if I see it again, my rating will change.
