On a purely visceral level, In My Skin is incredibly disturbing, if only for the graphic scenes of self-mutilation. Once you get past that, well, it's still a disturbing film, thanks to Marina de Van's intense performance and expert direction. As Esther, de Van creates a complex ...( read more)
A story about a woman tearing, eating, and slowly self mutilating herself. Literally.
In My Skin is a bizarre, bloody grotesque, and disturbing little film. Not a movie for everyone, especially for those with a weak stomach, but for those who are looking for something complete...( read more)
Completely FUBAR but deservin of academic study. Knew this woman was mad when I first saw her in Ozon's Regarde la Mer.

Body horror. The very term makes me queasy. I threw up. The biggest flaw with the film is that we never see what makes this woman who she is, or not enough of it, to illicit any emotion but disgust. A lot of disgust and a little apathy. But this film isn't a character study -- it...( read more)
The sickest show I have ever watched till date. I urge all gore fans to watch this. Marina de Van can take Quentin Tarantino, Eli Roth or whoever else to a face off. haha..
