Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

ngs091 Another Warning! My Brief Thematic Evaluation contains Heavy Spoilers....Drawing from the feminist liberation ideology found in the early paranoia pictures of Roman Polanski-- especially Repulsion-- In My Skin is a highly literate exercise in draining, existentialist horror.In the film, the main character of Esther leads a detached life from society. She can't function and connect to any human in this male-dominated, capitalist world. So withdrawn Esther is that when it comes time to talk business in a pivotal diner scene-- the one scene that comes from dreamlike paranoia, not earthbound horror-- she literally imagines one of her limbs detached during the discourse, and thus continues the love affair with self-mutilation.And a love story it is indeed. Yet, instead of with another human being, it is with tearing apart her own body, of which, can be perceived as the very faulty foundation for worth and self-purpose in a society that sadly values feminine attractiveness over their intellect.In the climax, Esther realizes that she cannot preserve her skin, and therefore like everything else that society values, her life is also bound only for disappointment. She lies in her bed in the final shot, almost looking dead but still living, showing that Esther alike the rest of the gender will always be a soulless, empty vessel without as much purpose and worth as males until society corrects itself.Therefore, with the soul of existentialism, and an outer-veneer akin to the hopelessness of a horror picture, In My Skin ends on a downer. The viewer can only ponder what kind of society pushes a woman to think of herself as nothing but a piece of meat. This also leaves Esther alone in a society that also stresses personal gain over others in a never ending cycle of disassociation. Simply, how can females get ahead if the gender isn't valued as anything but what they are not?

SnakesOnAnAfricanPlain In My Skin is a disturbing and very psychological film. It tells the story of a woman that injures herself at a party. Unaware of the severity of the leg wound, she doesn't discover it until later. She gets patched up, but is soon scratching away at the scars. What starts as morbid curiosity soon devolves into obsessional mutilation. The film focuses on self-mutilation in a very sickening way. This is a compulsion that can't be controlled. In typical horror fashion, it takes a serious and very real subject and amplifies it without becoming corny and gimmicky. It was interesting to see a woman destroy herself, which made it both tragic, but also strangely empowering. Overall I found it got to be a bit repetitive, and as the protagonist shoved away most people that cared for her, it just became a series of mutilations.

Brandon Morris In the slow, hidden meaning, and dark secret kind of movies, we come across something like this.Once again, in western type movies, the protagonist always have to throw what they feel at the audience so the audience doesn't have to think. This one will. The fact that she does things that you wouldn't think you do yourself and reacts on it later will have you mind-boggled. we all have our own way of dealing with things. This one tends to deal with a more dark and gruesome way to deal with it. Which is simply fine, if you can stomach some of the scenes in the movie, and love to try to read the underlying meaning within the movie to try to get the real beauty out. Id say give it a watch 7/10

Ata-2 This is a movie made with the confidence of one who knows exactly what she is trying to communicate. The problem is that what is being communicated is so far beyond the norm that it is not going to be easily grasped. Esther is a highly intelligent young woman. The main thread of the story begins when she accidentally injures herself. Through the injury she begins to see her herself as merely meat, an object. Meat can not suffer, has no emotions, has no ambitions, is immune to the pressures and pettiness of everyday life. She finds this release increasingly more fascinating and attractive. This is not something she can communicate to anyone around her so she explores it in secret attempting to finally exist as a mere object devoid of all humanity. Her loneliness adds a cutting edge of sadness to the story. If she found the right person to share her thoughts with we may have ended up with an equally bizarre love story.I found it difficult to watch this movie all the way through without a break. Some of my friends have not even managed to watch it past the first twenty minutes. If you do manage to sit through this movie, I am pretty sure that not only will you thereafter remember it vividly, you will also find it hard to stop talking about it.
