Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Only someone as talented as Almodovar could have mixed such elements without blowing up an entire movie.
– Kirk Honeycutt,
Hollywood Reporter,

rotten:
Despite its scalpel-like precision, pic falls short of its titular promise, never quite getting under the skin as it should.
– Justin Chang,
Variety,

fresh:
These are questions one is left with -- and that's not an entirely satisfying feeling. Yet it's hard not to be drawn into the story, and even more, into the gorgeous storytelling.
– Lisa Kennedy,

fresh:
There are few filmmakers -- David Lynch comes to mind, Woody Allen -- who have a completely unique way of imprinting a film. Nobody but Pedro Almodovar could have made The Skin I Live In. And that's high compliment.
– Tom Long,
Detroit News,

fresh:
Few filmmakers are more assured or alluring, even when we fear we're following a monster.
