Reviews
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Kirpianuscus its realism. the poetry of story. the delicacy to give a delicate subject in inspired, wise manner. a slice of life. the desire of woman. the gesture of man. the love. the sacrifices. and the last scene as the piece of circle. something special defines this film. an emotion, a feeling, an obscure-well known theme developed in the perfect way. result - a poem. in which the expectation to return to the start point, like suggestion in two scenes, missing. because the love is more than a beautiful emotions puzzle. it has a price. and, in essence, this is the key for discover the blood traces, the sheets, the barefoot print and the gesture who could change everything. short, an admirable work.
rodrig58 All men should get their skin out of them for the women they love, don't they? As a form of supreme sacrifice or the proof of supreme love, or both, however, they, the women, kill us slowly, through everything they do, right after the honeymoon ends... The film lacks what it should happened after the last scene: will she remove her skin for him too? I doubt that, I think she will prefer the divorce, in case they were married... Joke or no joke, reading the opinions of everyone on You-tube and IMDb, 99% did not understood anything. And somehow, rightly, because at least one aspect does not come out clearly from the film: the motivation for which him removes the skin. I'll try again to give an explanation. The reason is simple, those men who have not experienced True Total Love for a woman, have no way to know. The answer is that Love causes you to do such stupid things, such as even getting your skin out of you. I have to add that the movie has a very attractive and commercial title, which makes many to watch it. Last but not least, I can tell you that I've done something worse than taking my skin off for a woman, I married the woman, and not only one woman but two women...
bob the moo There is a great piece of special effect work at the heart of this film. As the title suggests (states), the male character of the central couple, fully removes his skin for his partner – spending all but the opening seconds of the film as a glistening, bloody biological model of sorts. It is to the credits film that you get beyond this very quickly, and that I found that after a few shots where I focused on the technical aspect of it, really I was more drawn into the situation rather than the effects. The story is narrated by the woman of the couple; she is happy that he has done this for her, even though it has some downsides, however he changes through the film – clearly not happy with the change his sacrifice has brought compared to the interrelationship benefits which haven't really stepped up.I will not say it is a perfect modern parable in this way, however there is a lot of interest to see this relationship where one of the partners has significantly changed himself for the benefit of the other. The sense of excitement early on is one thing, but with friends, with work, and just fundamentally within himself, he starts to be unhappy with the change – or rather the fact that he has given up so much and not seem to have had a lot back. The film doesn't push this onto us, but the woman of the couple does seem to have the easiest role, and although we hear her voice and not his, we do not see anything in her life where she sacrifices, apart from dealing with the impact of his new look on their furnishings.It is patient as it does this, and I enjoyed the slow pace, and the fact that the film itself sits back with the woman as the narrator – letting us see things ourselves while also being within her perspective to a point. I would have liked that it maybe go deeper with this aspect, but it still works as a relationship study, albeit an extreme one. Technically the film is well made, and as good as the central effect is, I also enjoyed the attention to detail around the set, with bloody smears and marks. The two leads are very good, but ironically the film belongs to Maguire with her narration and ability to silently deliver feeling and thought. Armesto is solid but broader and more obvious with his emotions and, while the special effect is good, he doesn't totally act/move like he is wearing less, rather than more. Still, as a pair, they work very well together.Initially arresting for its title and effects, it is a film worth getting into because there is an engaging and interesting relationship piece here – even if it is not a wholly successful one.
RbDeraj This is a short about exactly what the title says; a man that takes his skin off for his girlfriend. The reason is stupid. He does it just because she asks him to. He soon regrets the life that he lives and realizes the importance of what he has just lost. The effects in the film are quite good. The makeup on the body of the man showing his muscles without their epidermal layers is quite remarkable and realistic. Everything was subtle in its presentation, the smears left behind from even the lightest touch and the slight mood changes of the man as the dark reality slowly descends upon him. Eventually he resents her for the decision and it ends with the two becoming the same.
